Quote

A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds.

Men become wise just as they become rich, more by what they save than by what they receive.

A wise man turns chance into good fortune.

Men are wise in proportion, not to their experience, but to their capacity for experience.

Many men have been capable of doing a wise thing, more a cunning thing, but very few a generous thing.

A wise man will live as much within his wit as within his income.

Women are wiser than men because they know less and understand more.

Not many men have both good fortune and good sense.

The wise man is he who knows the relative value of things.

The one knowing what is profitable, and not the man knowing many things, is wise.
