“Reading does not make a man wise,it only makes him learned.”

“Mistakes makes a man wise, lies makes him common.”

“To make no mistakes is not in the power of man; but from their errors and mistakes the wise and good learn wisdom for the future.”

“A wise man can't seriously make himself anything, only a fool makes himself anything.”

“The only real difference between a wise man and a fool, Moore knew, was that the wise man tended to make more serious mistakes—and only because no one trusted a fool with really crucial decisions; only the wise had the opportunity to lose battles, or nations.”

“Wise is the one who learns from another´s mistakes. Less wise is the one who learns only from his own mistakes. The fool keeps making the same mistakes again and again and never learns from them.”

“Pain makes man think. Thought makes man wise. Wisdom makes life endurable.”
