"Listen much, keep silent when in doubt,..." - Quote by Confucius

“Those who make virtue their profession are the ruin of virtue.”

“A bit of fragrance always clings to the hand that gives roses. If you are generous, you will gain everything.”

“Charity, like the sun, brightens every object on which it shines.”

“[Prudence] is the virtue of that part of the intellect [the calculative] to which it belongs; and . . . our choice of actions will not be right without Prudence any more than without Moral Virtue, since, while Moral Virtue enables us to achieve the end, Prudence makes us adopt the right means to the end.”

“In childhood be modest, in youth temperate, in adulthood just, and in old age prudent.”

“There's a time for daring and there's a time for caution, and a wise man understands which is called for.”

“When we have arrived at the question, the answer is already near.”

“I try to learn as much as I can because I know nothing compared to what I need to know.”

“When words are scarce they are seldom spent in vain.”
