The Wise man is he who knows when and how to stop. Victor Hugo

Behold, the fool saith, "Put not all thine eggs in the one basket" - which is but a matter of saying, "Scatter your money and your attention"; but the wise man saith, "Pull all your eggs in the one basket and - WATCH THAT BASKET." - Pudd'nhead Wilson's Calendar Mark Twain

We think we don't deserve love, we think if we let it in we'll become too soft. But a wise man named Levine said it right. He said." Love is the only rational act. Morrie Schwartz
The Voice. There is a voice inside of you. That whispers all day long,"I feel this is right for me, I know that this is wrong."No teacher, preacher, parent, friend. Or wise man can decide. What's right for you--just listen to. The voice that speaks inside. Shel Silverstein
