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

The tongue of a fool is the key of his counsel, which, in a wise man, wisdom hath in keeping.

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

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

The world is not composed of heroes and villains, but of men and women with all the passions that God has given them. The ignorant condemn, but the wise pity.

Speak only if it improves upon the silence.
