“To withdraw is not to run away, and to stay is no wise action when there is more reason to fear than to hope. 'Tis the part of a wise man to keep himself today for tomorrow, and not venture all his eggs in one basket.”

“Be wise today; 'tis madness to defer.”

“A MAN FEARED

A man feared that he might find an assassin;
Another that he might find a victim.
One was more wise than the other.”

“Man is wise … when he recognises no greater enemy than himself.”

“The wise man dies no better or more wisely than the fool. In what way, then, is the wise man wise?”

“2168. 'Tis better for thee to be wise and not seem so, than to seem wise and not be so: Yet Men, for the most Part, desire and endeavor the contrary.”

“Put all your eggs in one basket and then watch that basket.”

“Time keeps running away no matter what's left behind, it keeps on moving
Tomorrow is not today and all of your yesterdays are only a matter of time.”

“Men tend to put all their emotional eggs in the basket of their wives (or womenfriends), it is difficult for a man to communicate feelings of disappointment to his wife because, if she withdraws, it feels to him like his entire emotional support system has collapsed.”

“A wise man will keep his Suspicions muzzled, but he will keep them awake.”
