You suddenly understand something you ve understood all your life, but in a new way. The desire for knowledge, like the thirst of riches, increases ever with the aquisition of it. Everybody knows if you are too careful, you are so occupied in being careful that you are sure to stumble over something. There are occaisions when it is undoubtedly better to incur loss than to make gain. There can be no defense like elaborate courtesy.
People are never so near playing the fool as when they think themselves wise.
The wise man will always reflect concrning the quality, not the quantity of life. No life ever grows great untill it is focused, dedicated, and disciplined. The measure of life is not length, but honesty. The supreme happiness of life is the convicvtion that we are loved. We all have strength enough to bear the misfortune of others.
