““…when the whole group is together, each brining out all that is best, wisest, or funniest in all the others. Those are the golden sessions…when the whole world, and something beyond the world, opens itself to our minds as we talk; and no one has any claim on or any responsibility for another, but all are freedmen and equals as if we had first met an hour ago, while at the same time an Affection mellowed by the years enfolds us. Life- natural life- has no better gift to give.””
C.S. Lewis
“If one were to bring ten of the wisest men in the world together and ask them what was the most stupid thing in existence, they would not be able to discover anything so stupid as astrology.”
David Hilbert
“Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers.”
Charles W. Eliot
“Let me embrace thee, sour adversity, for wise men say it is the wisest course.”
William Shakespeare
“Only the wisest and stupidest of men never change.”
Confucius
“The ancient oracle said that I was the wisest of all the Greeks. It is because I alone, of all the Greeks, know that I know nothing.”
Socrates
“Examinations are formidable even to the best prepared, for the greatest fool may ask more than the wisest man can answer.”
Charles Caleb Colton
