The ignorant man is an ox. He grows in size, not in wisdom.

The world is afflicted by death and decay. But the wise do not grieve, having realized the nature of the world.

The learned are envied by the foolish; rich men by the poor; chaste women by adulteresses; and beautiful ladies by ugly ones.

The true Wisdom is in recognizing our own ignorance.

Education is the path from cocky ignorance to miserable uncertainty.

Fools call wise men fools. A wise man never calls any man a fool.
