"Το know how to profit by good..." - Quote by Francois De La Rochefoucauld

“The intellect is always fooled by the heart.”

“Perfect courage and utter cowardice are two extremes which rarely occur.”

“Reconciliation with our enemies is simply a desire to better our condition, a weariness of war, or the fear of some unlucky thing from occurring.”

“To neglect the wise sayings of great thinkers is to deny ourselves the truest education.”

“Someone has said,"Education is going from an unconscious to conscious awareness of one's ignorance."..No one has a corner on wisdom. All the name-dropping in the world does not heighten the significance of our character. If anything, it reduces it. Our acute need is to cultivate a willingness to learn and to remain teachable.”

“Terrific minds focus on tips; average minds go over activities; little minds talk about people today.”

“The one thing people are the most liberal with, is their advice.”

“We are advertis'd by our loving friends.”

“Take advice, but not orders. Only give yourself orders.”
