Wise Man Quotes
It takes a clever man to turn cynic and a wise man to be clever enough not to.
Fannie Hurst
The wise man does not expose himself needlessly to danger, since there are few things for which he cares sufficiently; but he is willing, in great crises, to give even his life - knowing that under certain conditions it is not worthwhile to live.
Aristotle
Each of our passions, even love, has a stomach that must not be overloaded. We must in everything write the word 'finis' in time; we must restrain ourselves, when it becomes urgent; we must draw the bolt on the appetite, play a fantasia on the violin, then break the strings with our own hand. The Wise man is he who knows when and how to stop.

Confucius
Who was the fool, who the wise man, beggar or king? Whether poor or rich, all's the same in death.
