Many receive advice, only the wise profit from it

A word to the wise ain't necessary, it's the stupid ones who need the advice

Where there is charity and wisdom, there is neither fear nor ignorance

Perfect good sense shuns all extremity, content to couple wisdom with sobriety

The mother is only really the mistress of her daughter upon the condition of continually representing herself to her as a model of wisdom and type of perfection

You must be willing to protect yourself and what you cherish, no matter what the cost

Never suffer your courage to exert itself in fierceness, your resolution in obstinacy, your wisdom in cunning, nor your patience in sullenness and despair

Gross National Product measures neither the health of our children, the quality of their education, nor the joy of their play. It measures neither the beauty of our poetry, nor the strength of our marriages. It is indifferent to the decency of our factories and the safety of our streets alike. It measures neither our wisdom nor our learning, neither our wit nor our courage, neither our compassion nor our devotion to our country. It measures everything in short, except that which makes life worth living. It can tell us everything about our country, except those things that make us proud to be a part of it

Half a man's wisdom goes with his courage

God, give us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, courage to change the things that can be changed, and the wisdom to distinguish one from the other
