“A prudent question is one-half of wisdom”

“A fool often fails because he thinks what is difficult is easy, a wise man because he thinks what is easy is difficult”

“Every man has his follies - and often they are the most interesting thing he has got.”

“Men may change their climate, but they cannot change their nature. A man that goes out a fool cannot ride or sail himself into common sense”

“It is not fit that every man should travel; it makes a wise man better, and a fool worse”

“The doctor sees all the weakness of mankind; the lawyer all the wickedness, the theologian all the stupidity ”
