He who is taught to live upon little owes more to his father's wisdom than he who has a great deal left him does to his father's care.

Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is the noble art of leaving things undone. The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of non-essentials.

Wisdom is oftentimes nearer when we stoop than when we soar.

Our happiness depends on wisdom all the way.

If you were to offer a thirsty man all wisdom, you would not please him more than if you gave him a drink.
