No greater evil can a man endure Than a bad wife, nor find a greater good Than one both good and wise; and each man speaks As judging by the experience of his life.

Sophocles

There's no greater sign of being a poor philosopher and wise man than wanting all of life to be wise and philosophical.

Giacomo Leopardi

When a king begins to act like a king, it is not long before someone else is king! Serving is a way we can place value on one another. A wise man is a server.

Andy Andrews

No one has a greater asset for his business than a man's pride in his work.

Hosea Ballou

Man is wise ... when he recognizes no greater enemy than himself.

Marguerite de Navarre

It is a wise man who said that there is no greater inequality than the equal treatment of unequals.

Felix Frankfurter

Not only were the Jews expecting the birth of a Great King, a Wise Man and a Saviour, but Plato and Socrates also spoke of the Logos and of the Universal Wise Man 'yet to come'. Confucius spoke of 'the Saint'; the Sibyls, of a 'Universal King'; the Greek dramatist, of a saviour and redeemer to unloose man from the 'primal eldest curse'. All these were on the Gentile side of the expectation. What separates Christ from all men is that first He was expected; even the Gentiles had a longing for a deliverer, or redeemer. This fact alone distinguishes Him from all other religious leaders.

Fulton J. Sheen

To the wise man, to the wise nation, the mistakes of the past are the torches of the present.

Robert Green Ingersoll

There is no greater fool than the man who thinks himself wise; no one is wiser than he who suspects he is a fool.

Margaret of Valois

The fact is, the king was a good deal more than a king, he was a man; and when a man is a man, you can't knock it out of him.

Mark Twain

Order is Heaven's first law; and this confessed, some are, and must be, greater than the rest, more rich, more wise; but who infers from hence that such are happier, shocks all common sense. Condition, circumstance, is not the thing; bliss is the same in subject or in king.

Alexander Pope

What we define as a bubble is any kind of debt-fueled asset inflation where the cash flow generated by the asset itself - a rental property, office building, condo - does not cover the debt incurred to buy the asset. So you depend on a greater fool, if you will, to come in and buy at a higher price.

James Chanos

I've begun to realize that there cannot be a greater asset than individuality.

Sherlyn Chopra

As long as I can remember I feel I have had this great creative and spiritual force within me that is greater than faith, greater than ambition, greater than confidence, greater than determination, greater than vision. It is all these combined. My brain becomes magnetized with this dominating force which I hold in my hand.
