The farmer doesn't sow any seed; he chooses it carefully for by experience he knows that the harvest will be of the same Nature of the sowing. The wise man observes the laws of life and lives accordingly. Therefore, you sow in the furrow of life generous and beneficial procedures for all that according to the law your harvest, being good will make your life better. ~ Amado Nervo
Wise Men quotes by Amado Nervo
This fellow is wise enough to play the fool;
And to do that well craves a kind of wit:
He must observe their mood on whom he jests,
The quality of persons, and the time,
And, like the haggard, check at every feather
That comes before his eye. This is a practise
As full of labour as a wise man's art
For folly that he wisely shows is fit;
But wise men, folly-fall'n, quite taint their wit. ~ William Shakespeare
Wise Men quotes by William Shakespeare
The peace for which every soul strives and which is the true nature of God and the utmost goal of a man is but the outcome of harmony. ~ Hazrat Inayat Khan
Wise Men quotes by Hazrat Inayat Khan
When Eudaemonidas heard a philosopher arguing that only a wise man can be a good general, "This is a wonderful speech," said he; "but he that saith it never heard the sound of trumpets. ~ Plutarch
Wise Men quotes by Plutarch
May I deem the wise man rich, and may I have such a portion of gold as none but a prudent man can either bear or employ. ~ Plato
Wise Men quotes by Plato
No Man is wise at all Times, or is without his blind Side. ~ Desiderius Erasmus
Wise Men quotes by Desiderius Erasmus
The fool is looking for happiness far away. The wise man makes it grow under his feet. ~ James Oppenheim
Wise Men quotes by James Oppenheim
But I hope that by the decision and authority of wise princes that sometime devout and learned men from the churches of other nations and of ours may be summoned together to deliberate about all the controversies and that there be handed down to posterity one harmonious, true, and clear form of doctrine, without any ambiguity. Meanwhile, as far as possible, let us encourage the union of our churches with measured advice. ~ Philipp Melanchthon
Wise Men quotes by Philipp Melanchthon
Think as wise men do, but speak as the common people do. ~ Aristotle.
Wise Men quotes by Aristotle.
When complaints are freely heard, deeply considered and speedily reformed, then is the utmost bound of civil liberty attained that wise men look for. ~ John Milton
Wise Men quotes by John Milton
Why should I ask the wise men: Whence is my beginning? I am busy with the thought: Where will be my end? ~ Muhammad Iqbal
Wise Men quotes by Muhammad Iqbal
The faults of a man loved or honoured sometimes steal secretly and imperceptibly upon the wise and virtuous, but by injudicious fondness or thoughtless vanity are adopted with design. ~ Samuel Johnson
Wise Men quotes by Samuel Johnson
Wise men count backward toward zero. They know that's where contentment lies. ~ Marty Rubin
Wise Men quotes by Marty Rubin
When trouble comes, wise men take to their work; weak men take to the woods. ~ Elbert Hubbard
Wise Men quotes by Elbert Hubbard
The arrow shot by the archer may or may not kill a single person. But stratagems devised by wise men can kill even babes in the womb. ~ Kautilya
Wise Men quotes by Kautilya
No man was more foolish when he had not a pen in his hand, or more wise when he had ~ Samuel Johnson
Wise Men quotes by Samuel Johnson
I will seek wisdom. I will be a servant to others. A wise man will cultivate a servant's spirit, for that particular attribute attracts people like no other. As I humbly serve others, their wisdom will be freely shared with me. Often, the person who develops a servant's spirit becomes wealthy beyond measure. Many times, a servant has the ear of the king, and a humble servant often becomes a king, for he is the popular choice of the people. He who serves the most grows the fastest. I will become a humble servant. I will not look for someone to open my door - I will look to open the door for someone. I will not be distressed when no one is available to help me - I will be excited when I am available to help. I will be a servant to others. I will listen to the counsel of wise men. I will choose my friends with care. I will seek wisdom. ~ Andy Andrews
Wise Men quotes by Andy Andrews
I Pray Heaven to bestow the best of blessing on THIS HOUSE, and on All that shall hereafter Inhabit it. May none but honest and wise men ever rule under this roof! President Franklin D. Roosevelt had this lettered in gold in the marble over the fireplace in the State Dining Room of the White House. The quotation above follows the capitalization used in the inscription. ~ John Adams
Wise Men quotes by John Adams
There are many men who deserve to die, but they live. I can't see the end, the purpose. Even wise men can't. We can put a barrier, a wall, around ourselves, but try as we might, we can't keep the world out. ~ Cate Campbell Beatty
Wise Men quotes by Cate Campbell Beatty
In Tenochtitlan, Tezcoco and other cities there were groups of wise men known as tlamatinime. These scholars carried on the study of the ancient religious thinking of the Toltecs, which Tlacaelel had transformed into a mystical exaltation of war. Despite the popularity of the cult of the war-god, Huitzilopochtli, the tlamatinime preserved the old belief in a single supreme god, who was known under a variety of names. Sometimes he was called Tloque-Nahuaque, "Lord of the Close Vicinity," sometimes Ipalnemohuani, "Giver of Life," sometimes Moyocoyatzin, "He who Creates Himself." He also had two aspects, one masculine and one feminine. Thus he was also invoked as Ometeotl, "God of Duality," or given the double names Ometecuhtli and Omecihuatl, "Lord and Lady of Duality," Mictlantecuhtli and Mictecacihuatl, "Lord and Lady of the Region of Death," and others. ~ Miguel Leon-Portilla
Wise Men quotes by Miguel Leon-Portilla
It requires philosophy and heroism to rise above the opinion of the wise men of all nations and races. ~ Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Wise Men quotes by Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Clever men are impressed in their differences from their fellows. Wise men are conscious of their resemblance to them. ~ R. H. Tawney
Wise Men quotes by R. H. Tawney
FRIAR LAURENCE: Thou fond mad man, hear me but
speak a word.
ROMEO: O, thou wilt speak again of banishment.
FRIAR LAURENCE: I'll give thee armour to keep off
that word:
Adversity's sweet milk, philosophy,
To comfort thee, though thou art banished.
ROMEO: Yet "banished"? Hang up philosophy!
Unless philosophy can make a Juliet,
Displant a town, reverse a prince's doom,
It helps not, it prevails not: talk no more.
FRIAR LAURENCE: O, then I see that madmen
have no ears.
ROMEO: How should they, when that wise men
have no eyes?
FRIAR LAURENCE: Let me dispute with thee of thy estate.
ROMEO: Thou canst not speak of that thou dost not feel:
Wert thou as young as I, Juliet thy love,
An hour but married, Tybalt murdered,
Doting like me and like me banished,
Then mightst thou speak, then mightst thou
tear thy hair,
And fall upon the ground, as I do now,
Taking the measure of an unmade grave. ~ William Shakespeare
Wise Men quotes by William Shakespeare
Fools learn nothing from wise men, but wise men learn much from fools. ~ Johann Kaspar Lavater
Wise Men quotes by Johann Kaspar Lavater
A fool will study for twenty or thirty years and learn how to do something, but a wise man will study for twenty or thirty minutes and become an expert. In this world, it isn't ability that counts, but authority. ~ Barry Hughart
Wise Men quotes by Barry Hughart
He that is rich is wise, And all men learned poverty despise. ~ Daniel Defoe
Wise Men quotes by Daniel Defoe
Abundance of knowledge does not teach men to be wise. ~ Heraclitus
Wise Men quotes by Heraclitus
In the shade of the house, in the sunshine of the riverbank near the boats, in the shade of the Sal-wood forest, in the shade of the fig tree is where Siddhartha grew up, the handsome son of the Brahman, the young falcon, together with his friend Govinda, son of a Brahman. The sun tanned his light shoulders by the banks of the river when bathing, performing the sacred ablutions, the sacred offerings. In the mango grove, shade poured into his black eyes, when playing as a boy, when his mother sang, when the sacred offerings were made, when his father, the scholar, taught him, when the wise men talked. For a long time, Siddhartha had been partaking in the discussions of the wise men, practising debate with Govinda, practising with Govinda the art of reflection, the service of meditation. He already knew how to speak the Om silently, the word of words, to speak it silently into himself while inhaling, to speak it silently out of himself while exhaling, with all the concentration of his soul, the forehead surrounded by the glow of the clear-thinking spirit. He already knew to feel Atman in the depths of his being, indestructible, one with the universe. ~ Hermann Hesse
Wise Men quotes by Hermann Hesse
Fools make news, and wise men carry it. ~ Dorothy Dunnett
Wise Men quotes by Dorothy Dunnett
The fool strikes. The wise man smiles, and watches, and learns. Then strikes. ~ Joe Abercrombie
Wise Men quotes by Joe Abercrombie
Disillusioned words like bullets bark
As human gods aim for their marks
Made everything from toy guns that sparks
To flesh-colored Christs that glow in the dark
It's easy to see without looking too far
That not much
Is really sacred.

While preachers preach of evil fates
Teachers teach that knowledge waits
Can lead to hundred-dollar plates
Goodness hides behind its gates
But even the President of the United States
Sometimes must have
To stand naked.

An' though the rules of the road have been lodged
It's only people's games that you got to dodge
And it's alright, Ma, I can make it.

Advertising signs that con you
Into thinking you're the one
That can do what's never been done
That can win what's never been won
Meantime life outside goes on
All around you.

Although the masters make the rules
For the wise men and the fools
I got nothing, Ma, to live up to.

For them that must obey authority
That they do not respect in any degree
Who despite their jobs, their destinies
Speak jealously of them that are free
Cultivate their flowers to be
Nothing more than something
They invest in.

While some on principles baptized
To strict party platforms ties
Social clubs in drag disguise
Outsiders they can freely criticize
Tell nothing except who to idolize
And then say God Bl ~ Bob Dylan
Wise Men quotes by Bob Dylan
Wise men read very sharply all of your private history in your look and gait and behavior. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Wise Men quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Wise men will change their minds while the foolish stubbornly cling to their pride. ~ Terron James
Wise Men quotes by Terron James
The man who is truly wise knows that he knows very little. ~ Socrates
Wise Men quotes by Socrates
The simple person lives the way he breathes, with no more effort or glory, with no more affectation and without shame Simplicity is freedom, buoyancy, transparency. As simple as the air, as free as the air The simple person does not take himself too seriously or too tragicallyHe has nothing to prove, since he has no appearances to keep up, and nothing to seek, since everything is before him. What is more simple than simplicity? What is lighter? It is the virtue of wise men and the wisdom of saints. ~ Andre Comte Sponville
Wise Men quotes by Andre Comte Sponville
Get money - but stop once in a while to figure what it is costing you to get it. No man gets it without giving something in return. The wise man gives his labor and ability. The fool gives his life. ~ Bruce Barton
Wise Men quotes by Bruce Barton
They wonder much to hear that gold which in itself is so useless a thing, should be everywhere so much esteemed, that even men for whom it was made, and by whom it has value, should yet be thought of less value than this metal. That a man of lead, who has no more sense than a log of wood, and is as bad as he is foolish, should have many wise and good men to serve him, only because he has a great heap of that metal ... ~ Thomas More
Wise Men quotes by Thomas More
Remember that for all the books we have in print, are as many that have never reached print, have never been written down-even now, in this age of compulsive reverence for the written word, history, even social ethic, are taught by means of stories, and the people who have been conditioned into thinking only in terms of what is written-and unfortunately nearly all the products of our educational system can do no more than this-are missing what is before their eyes. For instance, the real history of Africa is still in the custody of black storytellers and wise men, black historians, medicine men: it is a verbal history, still kept safe from the white man and his predations. Everywhere, if you keep your mind open, you will find the words not written down. So never let the printed page be your master. Above all, you should know that the fact that you have to spend one year, or two years, on one book, or one author means that you are badly taught-you should have been taught to read your way from one sympathy to another, you should be learning to follow you own intuitive feeling about what you need; that is what you should have been developing, not the way to quote from other people. ~ Doris Lessing
Wise Men quotes by Doris Lessing
Loving for their mere artificiality those renunciations that men have unwisely called virtue, as much as those natural rebellions that wise men still call sin. ~ Oscar Wilde
Wise Men quotes by Oscar Wilde
A wise man had said that your Christian life is like a three-legged stool. The legs are doctrine, experience and practice, which is obedience; and you, will not stay upright unless all three are there. In recent years many Christians have not kept these three together. ~ J.I. Packer
Wise Men quotes by J.I. Packer
Fools measure actions, after they are done, by the event; wise men beforehand, by the rules of reason and right. The former look to the end, to judge of the act. Let me look to the act, and leave the end with God. ~ Joseph Hall
Wise Men quotes by Joseph Hall
It is a pity that, commonly, more care is had
yea, and that among very wise men
to find out rather a cunning man for their horse than a cunning man for their children. ~ Roger Ascham
Wise Men quotes by Roger Ascham
No man is born wise; but wisdom and virtue require a tutor; though we can easily learn to be vicious without a master. ~ Seneca The Younger
Wise Men quotes by Seneca The Younger
The wise man puts himself last and finds himself first. ~ Laozi
Wise Men quotes by Laozi
Also saw that the number of simpleminded men is greater than that of the prudent, and though it is better to be praised by a few wise men and mocked by many fools, ~ Miguel De Cervantes Saavedra
Wise Men quotes by Miguel De Cervantes Saavedra
You shall see rude and sturdy, experienced and wise men, keeping their castles, or teaming up their summer's wood, or chopping alone in the woods, men fuller of talk and rare adventure in the sun and wind and rain, than a chestnut is of meat; who were out not only in '75 and 1812, but have been out every day of their lives; greater men than Homer, or Chaucer, or Shakespeare, only they never got time to say so; they never took to the way of writing. Look at their fields, and imagine what they might write, if ever they should put pen to paper. Or what have they not written on the face of the earth already, clearing, and burning, and scratching, and harrowing, and plowing, and subsoiling, in and in, and out and out, and over and over, again and again, erasing what they had already written for want of parchment. ~ Henry David Thoreau
Wise Men quotes by Henry David Thoreau
A man must have something to cling to. Without that he is as a pea vine sprawling in search of a trellis ... I was all asprawl, clinging to Beauty, which is a very restless trellis. ~ E.B. White
Wise Men quotes by E.B. White
What is wrong with priests and popes is that instead of being apostles and saints, they are nothing but empirics who say I know instead of I am learning, and pray for credulity and inertia as wise men pray for skepticism and activity. ~ George Bernard Shaw
Wise Men quotes by George Bernard Shaw
A good man and a wise man may at times be angry with the world, at times grieved for it; but be sure no man was ever discontented with the world who did his duty in it. ~ Robert Southey
Wise Men quotes by Robert Southey
I think a Play the best divertisement that wise men have: but I do also think them nothing so who do discourse so formallie about the rules of it, as if 'twere the grand affair of humane life. ~ Aphra Behn
Wise Men quotes by Aphra Behn
The fewer blows, the better. Brave men fight if they must; wise men never fight if they can help it. ~ Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
Wise Men quotes by Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
Riches, in the hands of a man that is wise and generous, are good for something, but in the hands of a sordid, sneaking, covetous miser, they are good for nothing. ~ Matthew Henry
Wise Men quotes by Matthew Henry
A truly wise man does not play leapfrog with a unicorn. ~ Gautama Buddha
Wise Men quotes by Gautama Buddha
Fools multiply when wise men are silent. ~ Nelson Mandela
Wise Men quotes by Nelson Mandela
Logical consequences are the scarecrows of fools and the beacons of wise men. ~ Thomas Huxley
Wise Men quotes by Thomas Huxley
This life of yours which you are living is not merely a piece of this entire existence, but in a certain sense the whole; only this whole is not so constituted that it can be surveyed in one single glance. This, as we know, is what the Brahmins [wise men or priests in the Vedic tradition] express in that sacred, mystic formula which is yet really so simple and so clear; tat tvam asi, this is you. Or, again, in such words as I am in the east and the west, I am above and below, I am this entire world. ~ Erwin Schrodinger
Wise Men quotes by Erwin Schrodinger
A wise man will live as much within his wit as within his income. ~ Lord Chesterfield
Wise Men quotes by Lord Chesterfield
Get a friend to tell you your faults, or better still, welcome an enemy who will watch you keenly and sting you savagely. What a blessing such an irritating critic will be to a wise man, what an intolerable nuisance to a fool! ~ Charles Spurgeon
Wise Men quotes by Charles Spurgeon
One fool can ask more questions in a minute than 12 wise men can answer in an hour. ~ Vladimir Lenin
Wise Men quotes by Vladimir Lenin
Man can learn self-discipline without becoming ascetic; he can be wise without waiting to be old; he can be influential without waiting for status. Man can sharpen his ability to distinguish between matters of principle and matters of preference, but only if we have a wise interplay between time and truth, between minutes and morality. ~ Neal A. Maxwell
Wise Men quotes by Neal A. Maxwell
I am old, yet I look at wise men and see that I am very young. I look over those stars yonder, and into the myriads of the aspirant and ordered souls, and see I am a stranger and a youth and have yet my spurs to win. Too ridiculous are these airs of age. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Wise Men quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Not one man in five cycles, who is wise, will expect appreciative recognition from his fellows, or any one of them. ~ Herman Melville
Wise Men quotes by Herman Melville
I Have often thought if the minds of men were laid open, we should see but little difference between that of the wise man and that of the fool. There are infinite reveries, numberless extravagances, and a perpetual train of vanities which pass through both. The great difference is, that the first knows how to pick and cull his thoughts for conversation, by suppressing some, and communicating others; whereas the other lets them all indifferently fly out in words. ~ Joseph Addison
Wise Men quotes by Joseph Addison
If you learn from many wise men who disagree one another,
you will find that there are many wisdoms came out of truth.
In the end, you must find truth and define your own wisdom. ~ Toba Beta
Wise Men quotes by Toba Beta
Wise men come to see
a child of greater wisdom
and honor divine. ~ Richelle E. Goodrich
Wise Men quotes by Richelle E. Goodrich
For that is the people's verdict, but wise men on the whole reject the people's decrees. ~ Seneca.
Wise Men quotes by Seneca.
Luck never made a man wise. ~ Seneca The Younger
Wise Men quotes by Seneca The Younger
The non-action of the wise man is not inaction. It is not studied. It is not shaken by anything. The sage is quiet because he is not moved, not because he wills to be quiet ... Joy does all things without concern. For emptiness, stillness, tranquillity, tastelessness, silence, and non-action are the root of all things. ~ Zhuangzi
Wise Men quotes by Zhuangzi
The finest piece of mechanism in all the universe is the brain of man. The wise person develops his brain, and opens his mind to the genius and spirit of the world's great ideas. He will feel inspired with the purest and noblest thoughts that have ever animated the spirit of humanity. ~ Alfred Armand Montapert
Wise Men quotes by Alfred Armand Montapert
The mind of man has no defense To equal plain, old common sense. This homely virtue don't despise, If you would be happy as well as wise. ~ Don Herold
Wise Men quotes by Don Herold
Wise man and river; they both create new paths! ~ Mehmet Murat Ildan
Wise Men quotes by Mehmet Murat Ildan
The Bible is to us what the star was to the wise men; but if we spend all our time in gazing upon it, observing its motions, and admiring its splendor, without being led to Christ by it, the use of it will be lost on us. ~ Thomas Adams
Wise Men quotes by Thomas Adams
Wise men think all they say, fools say all they think. ~ Ashwin Sanghi
Wise Men quotes by Ashwin Sanghi
Wise men make proverbs, but fools repeat them. ~ Samuel Palmer
Wise Men quotes by Samuel Palmer
Wise men will apply their remedies to vices, not to names; to the causes of evil which are permanent, not to occasional organs by which they act, and the transitory modes in which they appear. ~ Edmund Burke
Wise Men quotes by Edmund Burke
Any one can give advice, such as it is, but only a wise man knows how to profit by it. ~ Charles Caleb Colton
Wise Men quotes by Charles Caleb Colton
Every man wishes to be wise, and they who cannot be wise are almost always cunning. ~ Samuel Johnson
Wise Men quotes by Samuel Johnson
Wise men are more dependent on fools than fools on wise men. ~ Cato The Younger
Wise Men quotes by Cato The Younger
Wise men learn more from fools than fools from the wise. ~ Cato The Elder
Wise Men quotes by Cato The Elder
A wise man who has the moment in his hand should not let that moment slip. ~ Louis Farrakhan
Wise Men quotes by Louis Farrakhan
The great enemy of Plato is the world, not exactly in the theological sense, yet in one not wholly different
the world as the hater of truth and lover of appearance, occupied in the pursuit of gain and pleasure rather than of knowledge, banded together against the few good and wise men, and devoid of true education. ~ Plato
Wise Men quotes by Plato
To hear these defenders of democracy talk, one would think that the people deliberate like a committee of wise men, whereas in truth judicial murders, foolhardy undertakings, wild choices, and above all foolish and disastrous wars are eminently the prerogatives of this form of government.
Study on Sovereignty. ~ Joseph De Maistre
Wise Men quotes by Joseph De Maistre
The wise man understands his weakness and seeks to find a lesson from it. The fool lets it control and destroy him. ~ Christie Golden
Wise Men quotes by Christie Golden
Did you hear about the middle Eastern potentate?" he asked me. "This potentate called a meeting of the wise men in the kingdom, and said, "I want you to gather all the world's knowledge together in one place so that my sons can read it and learn."The wise men went off, and after year, they came back with twenty-five volumes of knowledge. This potentate looked at it and he said, "No. It's too long. Make it shorter." So the wise men went off for another year. When they came back, they gave the potentate a piece of paper with one sentence on it. A single sentence. You know what the sentence was?"
Bob looked at me. I shook my head.
"The sentence was: "This too shall pass."
Bob paused, let it sink in: "I heard that when I was very young and it has always stuck with me. ~ A. J. Jacobs
Wise Men quotes by A. J. Jacobs
No man, however benevolent, liberal, and wise, can use a large fortune so that it will do half as much good in the world as it would if it were divided into moderate sums and in the hands of workmen who had earned it by industry and frugality. The piling up of estates often does great and conspicuous good ... But no man does with accumulated wealth so much good as the same amount would do in many hands. ~ Rutherford B. Hayes
Wise Men quotes by Rutherford B. Hayes
Those wise men knew God to be in things, and Divinity to be latent in Nature, working and glowing differently in different subjects and succeeding through diverse physical forms, in certain arrangements, in making them participants in her, I say, in her being, in her life and intellect. ~ Giordano Bruno
Wise Men quotes by Giordano Bruno
There is a limit to the work that can be got out of a human body or a human brain, and he is a wise man who wastes no energy on pursuits for which he is not fitted; and he is still wiser who, from among the things that he can do well, chooses and resolut ~ William E. Gladstone
Wise Men quotes by William E. Gladstone
There are two roads to every place, and the wise man chooses the pleasant one. ~ Phyllis Bentley
Wise Men quotes by Phyllis Bentley
I am wise enough to know that there are some perils from which a man must flee. ~ Faramir
Wise Men quotes by Faramir
But the princes, putting the words of their wise men to naught, thought each to himself: If I but strike quickly enough, and in secret, I shall destroy those others in their sleep, and there will be none to fight back; the earth shall be mine.
Such was the folly of princes, and there followed the Flame Deluge. ~ Walter M. Miller Jr.
Wise Men quotes by Walter M. Miller Jr.
A tyrant needs no real reason for what he does, Quellion said. He was a young man, but not foolish. At times, he sounded like other men Spook had known. Wise men. The difference, then, was one of extremity. Or, perhaps, timing? ~ Brandon Sanderson
Wise Men quotes by Brandon Sanderson
But wise men pierce this rotten diction and fasten words again to visible things; so that picturesque language is at once a commanding certificate that he who employs it, is a man in alliance with truth and God. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Wise Men quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
It's the simple things in life that are the most extraordinary; only wise men are able to understand them ~ Paulo Coelho
Wise Men quotes by Paulo Coelho
A bad reader soon puts to flight both wise men and fools. ~ Horace
Wise Men quotes by Horace
Since, therefore, no man is born without faults, and he is esteemed the best whose errors are the least, let the wise man consider everything human as connected with himself; for in worldly affairs there is no perfect happiness under heaven. ~ Giraldus Cambrensis
Wise Men quotes by Giraldus Cambrensis
Of themselves diseases come upon men continually by day and by night, bringing mischief to mortals silently; for wise Zeus took away speech from them. So is there no way to escape the will of Zeus ~ Hesiod
Wise Men quotes by Hesiod
A wise man's kingdom is his own breast: or, if he ever looks farther, it will only be to the judgment of a select few, who are free from prejudices, and capable of examining his work. Nothing indeed can be a stronger presumption of falsehood than the approbation of the multitude; and Phocion, you know, always suspected himself of some blunder when he was attended with the applauses of the populace. ~ David Hume
Wise Men quotes by David Hume
The tongue of a fool is the key of his counsel, which, in a wise man, wisdom hath in keeping. ~ Socrates
Wise Men quotes by Socrates
I've got the baby here," Imogene barked at the Wise Men. "Don touch him! I named him Jesus. ~ Barbara Robinson
Wise Men quotes by Barbara Robinson
Force was the factor in the government of the world when Christ was born, and force was the source and exercise of authority both by Church and State when Columbus sailed from Palos. The Wise Men traveled from the East toward the West under the guidance of the Star of Bethlehem. The spirit of the equality of all men before God and the law moved westward from Calvary with its revolutionary influence upon old institutions, to the Atlantic Ocean. Columbus carried it westward across the seas. ~ Chauncey Depew
Wise Men quotes by Chauncey Depew
