Homer
Greek - Poet

It is a wise man that does know the contented man is never poor, whilst the discontented man is never rich.

Frank Herbert

War never takes a wicked man by chance, the good man always.

Sophocles

For there is one thing we must never forget... the majority can never replace the man. And no more than a hundred empty heads make one wise man will an heroic decision arise from a hundred cowards.

Adolf Hitler

Fools call wise men fools. A wise man never calls any man a fool.

Thomas A. Edison

Far from rejecting such a good man as you, He never even abandons a wicked man who hopes for His mercy.

Vincent de Paul

A wise man should never resolve upon anything, at least, never let the world know his resolution, for if he cannot reach that he is ashamed.

John Selden

A religion that never suffices to govern a man will never suffice to save him; that which does not sufficiently distinguish one from a wicked world will never distinguish him from a perishing world.

E. W. Howe

Evil-doers who denounce the wise resemble a person who spits against the sky; the spittle will never reach the sky, but comes down on himself. Evil-doers again resemble a man who stirs the dust against the wind; the dust is never raised without doing him injury. Thus, the wise will never be hurt, but the curse is sure to destroy the evil-doers themselves.

Gautama Buddha

The wisest man I ever knew taught me something I never forgot. And although I never forgot it, I never quite memorized it either. So what I’m left with is the memory of having learned something very wise that I can’t quite remember.

George Carlin

I have great hope of a wicked man, slender hope of a mean one. A wicked man may be converted and become a prominent saint. A mean man ought to be converted six or seven times, one right after the other, to give him a fair start and put him on an equality with a bold, wicked man.

Henry Ward Beecher

If thou hast never been a fool, be sure thou wilt never be a wise man.

William Makepeace Thackeray

The man who has never made a fool of himself in love will never be wise in love.

Theodor Reik

Fools rush in, where wise men never go, But wise men never fall in love, so how are they to know?

Johnny Mercer

God cannot be referred to as 'good,' 'better,' or 'best' because He is above all things. If a man says that God is wise, the man is lying because anything that is wise can become wiser. Anything that a man might say about God is incorrect... The best a man can do is to remain silent...The true master knows that if he had a God he could understand, he would never hold Him to be God.
