The only medicine for suffering, crime, and all the other woes of mankind, is wisdom.

It is easier to be wise for others than for ourselves.
The art of being wise is knowing what to overlook.
The first step in the acquisition of wisdom is silence, the second listening, the third memory, the fourth practice, the fifth teaching others.
Years teach us more than books.
The wisdom of nations lies in their proverbs,
which are brief and pithy.
The middle course is the best.
