"The strongest symptom of wisdom in man..." - Quote by Francois De La Rochefoucauld

“The better part of one's life consists of his friendships. ABRAHAM LINCOLN, letter to Joseph Gillespie, July 13, 1849 Friendship is insipid to those who have experienced love.”

“Extreme boredom provides its own antidote.”

“Nothing is impossible; there are ways that lead to everything, and if we had sufficient will we should always have sufficient means. It is often merely for an excuse that we say things are impossible.”

“Truth is the most valuable thing we have. Let us economize it.”

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

“If someone is going down the wrong road, he doesn't need motivation to speed him up. What he needs is education to turn him around.”

“It is easy to be wise on behalf of others than to be so for ourselves.”

“In Truth I found myself incorrigible with respect to Order; and now I am grown old, and my Memory bad, I feel very sensibly the want of it.”

“A great man is always willing to be little.”
