"Men are born with two eyes, but only one tongue, in order that they should see twice as much as they say."
"Deliberate with caution, but act with decision; and yield with graciousness, or oppose with firmness."

"A man doesn't know what he knows until he knows what he doesn't know."
"Learning has been [a] great loser by being shut up in colleges and cells and secluded from the world and good company."
"Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught."
