“Go wisely and slowly. Those who rush stumble and fall.”

“The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.”

“This fellow is wise enough to play the fool;And to do that well craves a kind of wit:He must observe their mood on whom he jests,The quality of persons, and the time,And, like the haggard, check at every featherThat comes before his eye. This is a practiseAs full of labour as a wise man's artFor folly that he wisely shows is fit;But wise men, folly-fall'n, quite taint their wit.”

“Modest doubt is call'd the beacon of the wise.”

“Thou and I are too wise to woo peaceably.”
