We are happier in many ways when we are old than when we were young. The young sow wild oats. The old grow sage.

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

Wisdom usually grows up on us like calluses when we are old, gnarled and bent.

The people who were trying to make this world worse are not taking the day off. Why should I?

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.

True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves, and the world around us.
