A man is not called wise because he talks and talks again; but if he is peaceful, loving and fearless then he is in truth called wise.

Gautama Buddha

A wise quote can only change a wise man! Therefore, wise sayings are for the wise men, not for the fools! The sunflowers turn their face toward the Sun, the fools, toward the darkness!

Mehmet Murat Ildan

A man should always have these two rules in readiness. First, to do only what the reason of your ruling and legislating faculties suggest for the service of man. Second, to change your opinion whenever anyone at hand sets you right and unsettles you in an opinion, but this change of opinion should come only because you are persuaded that something is just or to the public advantage, not because it appears pleasant or increases your reputation.

Marcus Aurelius

Always win fools first. They talk much, and what they have once uttered they will stick to; whereas there is always time, up to the last moment, to bring before a wise man arguments that may entirely change his opinion.

Arthur Helps

A wise man makes his own decisions, an ignorant man follows the public opinion.

Grantland Rice

The constancy of the wise is only the art of keeping disquietude to one's self.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

The constancy of the wise is only the talent of concealing the agitation of their hearts.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

He that resigns his peace to little casualties, and suffers the course of his life to be interrupted for fortuitous inadvertencies or offences, delivers up himself to the direction of the wind, and loses all that constancy and equanimity which constitutes the chief praise of a wise man.

Samuel Johnson

A change of fortune hurts a wise man no more than a change of the moon.

Benjamin Franklin

Every man whose character traits all lie in the mean is called a wise man.

Maimonides

The two powers which in my opinion constitute a wise man are those of bearing and forbearing.

Epictetus

The wise man admires water, the kind man admires mountains. The wise man moves, the kind man rests. The wise man is happy, the kind man is firm.

Confucius

In New Mexico, my local church did a nativity play, and I was cast as Wise Man #3. Of course, Wise Man #3 had no damn lines. Wise Man #1 had all the lines! I stood there thinking, 'I could do that role so much better!' From that moment on, I knew I wanted to be an actor.

Baron Vaughn

I have always argued that change becomes stressful and overwhelming only when you've lost any sense of the constancy of your life. You need firm ground to stand on. From there, you can deal with that change.

Richard Nelson Bolles

Whensoever God's truth is defaced or when any man turns away from the pure simplicity of the Gospel, we must not in any wise spare him, but although the whole world should set itself against us, yet must we maintain the case with invincible constancy, without bending for any creature.
