“Ten thousand fools proclaim themselves into obscurity, while one wise man forgets himself into immortality.”
“The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.”
“A fool flatters himself, a wise man flatters the fool.”
“How prudently most men creep into nameless graves, while now and then one or two forget themselves into immortality.”
“A wise man can't seriously make himself anything, only a fool makes himself anything.”
“Wine turns the wise man into a fool and the fool into a wise man.”
