It has long been an axiom of mine that the little things are infinitely the most important.

To be satisfied with a little, is the greatest wisdom and he that increaseth his riches, increaseth his cares but a contented mind is a hidden treasure, and trouble findeth it not.

Don't taunt the alligator until after you've crossed the creek.

Common sense in an uncommon degree is what the world calls wisdom.

It is impossible to love and to be wise.

Wisdom is found only in truth.

This is the highest wisdom that I own freedom and life are earned by those alone who conquer them each day anew.

The young man knows the rules, but the old man knows the exceptions.

To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom.

The older I grow the more I distrust the familiar doctrine that age brings wisdom.
