I do not think much of a man who is not wiser today than yesterday.

Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom.

There is no happiness where there is no wisdom; no wisdom but in submission to the gods. Big words are always punished, and proud men in old age learn to be wise.

Who are a little wise, the best fools be.

We learn wisdom from failure much more than from success. We often discover what will do, by finding out what will not do; and probably he who never made a mistake never made a discovery.

A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men.
