I always was a weird child. My mother told me the story that, in kindergarten, I would come home and tell her about this weird kid in my class who drew only with black crayons and didn't speak to other kids. I talked about it so much that my mother brought it up with the teacher, who said, 'What? That's your son.'
Never take a solemn oath. People think you mean it.
What is all wisdom save a collection of platitudes?
The pine stays green in winter... wisdom in hardship.
The sublimity of wisdom is to do those things living, which are to be desired when dying.
