A wise man has wise children. With age comes wisdom. It takes gizzards and guts to get along in the world. It's a wise man who holds his peace an ounce of wisdom is worth a pound of wit. Still tongue,wise head.
Horse sense is just stable thinking.
Great minds run in the same channels. Wise men make proverbs and fools repeat them. The head can save the heels. Still waters run deep. Wisdom is better than rifles.
