"To know how to grow old is the master work of wisdom, and one of the most difficult chapters in the great art of living." — Henri-Frédéric Amiel

I resolved to stop accumulating and begin the infinitely more serious and difficult task of wise distribution

There are periods when to dare, is the highest wisdom

Men are never very wise and select in the exercise of a new power

All noble enthusiasms pass through a feverish stage, and grow wiser and more serene

The wise only possess ideas, the great part of mankind are possessed by them

It is the mind that makes the body rich
