Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The only competition worthy of a wise man is with himself.
A wise man never loses anything, if he has himself.
A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds.
A wise man fights to win, but he is twice a fool who has no plan for possible defeat.
Wise is he who enjoys the show offered by the world.
He whose wisdom cannot help him, gets no good from being 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 man who has sufficient power over himself to wait until his nature has recovered its even balance is the truly wise man, but such beings are seldom met with.
A wise man thinks it more advantageous not to join the battle than to win.
No man was ever wise by chance.
