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

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

Wise men make more opportunities than they find.

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

It takes a wise man to recognize a wise man.

The wise man does not lay up his own treasures. The more he gives to others, the more he has for his own.

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

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

A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds.
