The test of good manners is to be patient with the bad ones.
From Solomon Ibn Gabirol
Kings may be judges of the earth, but wise men are the judges of kings.
A wise man's question contains half the answer.
Your secret is your prisoner; once you reveal it, you become its slave.
As long as a word remains unspoken, you are its master; once you utter it, you are its slave.
My friend is he who will tell me my faults in private.
I am better able to retract what I did not say than what I did.
The beginning of wisdom is to desire it.
Plan for this world as if you expect to live forever; but plan for the hereafter as if you expect to die tomorrow.
As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.
