In
seeking wisdom thou art wise; in imagining that thou
hast attained it, thou art a fool.
-- Rabbi Ben Azai
Israeli Rabbi
There
is a difference between happiness and wisdom: he
that thinks himself the happiest man is really so;
but he that thinks himself the wisest is generally
the greatest fool.

Silence is the sleep that nourishes wisdom.

For it
is not possible to join serpentine wisdom with
columbine innocence, except men know exactly all the
conditions of the serpent: his baseness and going
upon his belly, his volubility and lubricity, his
envy and sting, and the rest; that is, all forms and
natures of evil: for without this, virtue lieth open
and unfenced.
-- Francis Bacon
1561-1626, British
