Wisdom

A bird that you set free may be caught again, but a word that escapes your lips will not return.
A mother understands what a child does not say.
A pessimist, confronted with two bad choices, chooses both.
As he thinks in his heart, so he is.
As you teach, you learn.
Do not be wise in words – be wise in deeds.
Don’t be sweet, lest you be eaten up; don’t be bitter, lest you be spewed out.
Don’t look for more honour than your learning merits.
First mend yourself, and then mend others.
He that can’t endure the bad, will not live to see the good.
If charity cost nothing, the world would be full of philanthropists.
If not for fear, sin would be sweet.
Make sure to be in with your equals if you’re going to fall out with your superiors.
Not to have felt pain is not to have been human.
What you don’t see with your eyes, don’t invent with your mouth.
