He is a hard man who is only just, and a sad one who is only wise.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
He who is not just is severe, he who is not wise is sad.
A man is only as good as what he loves.
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.
I myself think that the wise man meddles little or not at all in affairs and does his own things.
A wise man thinks what is easy is difficult.
No matter how long he lives, no man ever becomes as wise as the average woman of forty-eight.
He who knows no hardships will know no hardihood. He who faces no calamity will need no courage. Mysterious though it is, the characteristics in human nature which we love best grow in a soil with a strong mixture of troubles.
Who is wise? He that learns from everyone. Who is powerful? He that governs his passions. Who is rich? He that is content. Who is that? Nobody.
He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has.
He whose wisdom cannot help him, gets no good from being wise.
