"Passion very often makes the wisest men fools, and very often too inspires the greatest fools with wit" — François VI. de La Rochefoucauld

Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers

Common sense in an uncommon degree is what the world calls wisdom

Wisdom is a sacred communion.

From the errors of others, a wise man corrects his own

In action a great heart is the chief qualification. In work, a great head

The truest wisdom is a resolute determination
