Can any thing in this world be more foolish than to think that all this rare fabric of heaven and earth can come by chance, when all the skill of art is not able to make an oyster!

The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.

You learn to speak by speaking, to study by studying, to run by running, to work by working; in just the same way, you learn to love by loving.

Silence is the wit of fools, and one of the virtues of the wise.
