“It is a great folly to wish to be wise alone.”

“Folly is as great as the sea, it will compass anything.”

“No wise man ever wished to be younger.”

“Those who wish to appear wise among fools, among the wise seem foolish.”
Qui stultis videri eruditi volunt stulti eruditis videntur.

“Many great failures and many great successes are due to chance and not to human folly or ingenuity.”

“There are many things of which a wise man might wish to be ignorant.”

“In public, as well as in private expences, great wealth may, perhaps, frequently be admitted as an apology for great folly.”

“Hold back your mind from pride, for pride comes only from ignorance. The man who does not know thinks that he is great, that he has done this or that great thing; the wise man knows that only God is great, that all good work is done by God alone.”

“A converted man will not wish to go to heaven alone.”

“How I wish that somewhere there existed an island for those who are wise and of good will.”
