"The follies of the wise man are..." - Quote by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

“Enjoy what thou has inherited from thy sires if thou wouldn't really possess it. What we employ and use is never an oppressive burden; what the moment brings forth, that only can it profit by.”

“No man learns to know his inmost nature by introspection, for he rates himself sometimes too low, and often too high, by his own measurement. Man knows himself only by comparing himself with other men; it is life that touches his genuine worth.”

“The hardest thing to see is what is in front of your eyes.”

“It will contribute towards one's object, who wishes to acquire a facility in the gaining of knowledge, to doubt judiciously.”

“There is great skill in knowing how to conceal one's skill.”

“To live the greatest number of good hours is wisdom.”

“What a terrible era in which idiots govern the blind.”

“He Who Knows And Knows That He Knows Is A Wise Man - Follow Him; He Who Knows Not And Knows Not That He Knows Not Is A Fool - Shun Him”

“A nod from a lord is a breakfast for a fool.”
