I myself think that the wise man meddles little or not at all in affairs and does his own things.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
For to err in opinion, though it be not the part of wise men, is at least human.
The wise man does not expose himself needlessly to danger, since there are few things for which he cares sufficiently; but he is willing, in great crises, to give even his life - knowing that under certain conditions it is not worthwhile to live.
The wise man is he who knows the relative value of things.
Who is the wise man? He who sees what's going to be born.
A wise man sees as much as he ought, not as much as he can.
The wise man does at once what the fool does finally.
It is best for the wise man not to seem wise.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
So near is falsehood to truth that a wise man would do well not to trust himself on the narrow edge.
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.
