Quote

Wise men make more opportunities than they find.

A wise man turns chance into good fortune.

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

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

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

A wise man sees as much as he ought, not as much as he can.

A wise man should have money in his head, but not in his heart.

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

A wise man is cured of ambition by ambition itself; his aim is so exalted that riches, office, fortune and favour cannot satisfy him.

The only competition worthy a wise man is with himself.
