Here the ways of men part: if you wish to strive for peace of soul and pleasure, then believe; if you wish to be a devotee of truth, then inquire.

It is not enough to prove something, one also has to seduce or elevate people to it. That is why the man of knowledge should learn how to speak his wisdom: and often in such a way that it sounds like folly!

Give thy thoughts no tongue.

Have more than you show, Speak less than you know.

Wisdom cries out in the streets, and no man regards it.
