Who lives without folly is not so wise as he thinks.

It is not reason which is the guide of life, but custom.

Take time to deliberate; but when the time for action arrives, stop thinking and go in.

There are only two kinds of people, those who accept dogmas and know it, and those who accept dogmas and don't know it.

At the end of the day, we can endure more than we think we can.

I do not fix problems. I fix my thinking. Then problems fix themselves.

Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.

We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it—and stop there; lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove lid again—and that is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one any more.

Perfect wisdom has four parts; Wisdom, the principle of doing things right. Justice, the principle of doing things equally in public and private. Fortitude, the principle of not fleeing danger, but meeting it. Temperance, the principle of subduing desires and living moderately.

Calmness of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom.

All things are filled full of signs, and it is a wise man who can learn about one thing from another.

Wisdom is nothing but a preparation of the soul, a capacity, a secret art of thinking, feeling and breathing thoughts of unity at every moment of life.

In life, all good things come hard, but wisdom is the hardest to come by.
