Let me embrace thee, sour adversity, for wise men say it is the wisest course.

It is always wise to look ahead, but difficult to look further than you can see.

A wise girl knows her limits, a smart girl knows that she has none.

There are only the wise of the highest class, and the stupid of the lowest class, who cannot be changed.

As the water shapes itself to the vessel that contains it, so a wise man adapts himself to circumstances.

I am very conscious that I am not wise at all.
