Nuggets of Wisdom

Sensible people control their temper;

A rebellious son is a calamity to his father, and a nagging wife annoys like constant dripping

Those with insight find prosperity;

Wisdom is so priceless that it exceeds the value of any jewel.

Fines are needed to make fools obey the law, but good people are happy to obey it

Lazy people sleep soundly, but idleness leaves them hungry

Why is a clever person wise? Because he knows what to do. Why is a stupid person foolish? Because he only thinks he knows

Cynics look high and low for wisdom and never find it; the open-minded find it right on their doorstep!
