"He who can properly summarize many ideas..." - Quote by Euripides

“It is in adversity that the good show their friendship most clearly; prosperity always finds friends.”

“Question everything. Learn something. Answer nothing.”

“There is safety in numbers.”

“We're all ignorant, just about different stuff.”

“A man who loses his money gains, at the least, experience, and sometimes, something better.”

“He spoke with more eloquence than wisdom.”

“As it is the characteristic of great wits to say much in few words, so small wits seem to have the gift of speaking much and saying nothing.”

“What are the proper proportions of a maxim? A minimum of sound to a maximum of sense.”

“Let the reader find that he cannot afford to omit any line of your writing because you you have omitted every word that he can spare.”
