Humility is the only true wisdom by which we prepare our minds for all the possible changes of life.

Of all our possessions, wisdom alone is imortal.

Wisdom is the knowledge of good and evil, not the strength to choose between the two.

I have sympathy for young people, for their growing pains, but I balk when these growing pains are pushed into the foreground, when you make these young people the only vehicles of life's wisdom.

I find that to be a fool as to worldly wisdom, and to commit my cause to God, not fearing to offend men, who take offence at the simplicity of truth, is the only way to remain unmoved at the sentiments of others.
