“Wise men make proverbs, but fools repeat them.”
“Fools make feasts and wise men eat them.”
“Wise men profit more by fools than fools by wise men.”
“Love works in miracles every day: such as weakening the strong, and strengthening the weak; making fools of the wise, and wise men of fools; favouring the passions, destroying reason, and in a word, turning everything topsy-turvy.”
“Few things are needed to make a wise man happy; nothing can make a fool content; that is why most men are miserable.”
“Rules are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men.”
