Long is the night to him who is awake; long is a mile to him who is tired; long is life to the foolish who do not know the true law.

Men are wise in proportion, not to their experience, but to their capacity for experience.

No man can be a pure specialist without being in the strict sense an idiot.

The liar's punishment is, not in the least that he is not believed, but that he cannot believe anyone else.

Don't gain the world and lose your soul, wisdom is better than silver or gold.

What the wise do in the beginning, fools do in the end.
