A fine quotation is a diamond in the hand of a man of wit and a pebble in the hand of a fool.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
To speak and to speak well, are two things. A fool may talk, but a wise man speaks.
The point of quotations is that one can use another's words to be insulting.
There is only a finger's difference between a wise man and a fool.
The wisdom of the wise and the experience of the ages are perpetuated by quotations.
Quotations are useful in periods of ignorance or obscurantist beliefs.
Wit must be foiled by wit: cut a diamond with a diamond.
In seeking wisdom thou art wise; in imagining that thou hast attained it - thou art a fool.
Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools because they have to say something.
A fool and his words are soon parted.
A quote is just a tattoo on the tongue.
