Crafty men condemn studies; Simple men admire them; And wise men use them: For they teach not their own use: but that is a wisdom without them, and above them, won by observation.
Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested.
Nothing is terrible except fear itself.
Anger makes dull men witty, but it keeps them poor.
Wise men make more opportunities than they find.
Friends are thieves of time.
