True love is not a strong, fiery, impetuous passion. It is, on the contrary, an element calm and deep. It looks beyond mere externals, and is attracted by qualities alone. It is wise and discriminating, and its devotion is real and abiding.
A smart man makes a mistake, learns from it, and never makes that mistake again. But a wise man finds a smart man and learns from him how to avoid the mistake altogether.
Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools because they have to say something.
A beautiful woman delights the eye; a wise woman, the understanding; a pure one, the soul.
Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
