Nature and wisdom never are at strife.
Plutarch

The only medicine for suffering, crime, and all the other woes of mankind, is wisdom.
Thomas Huxley

A wise man learns by the mistakes of others,
a fool by his own.

One who understands much displays a greater simplicity of character than one who understands little.
Alexander Chase

The man of wisdom is never of two minds;
the man of benevolence never worries;
the man of courage is never afraid.
Confucius
