"It is better to deserve honors and not have them than to have them and not to deserve them."
- Mark Twain
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.
- JRR Tolkien
"It is a profitable thing, if one is wise, to seem foolish."
- Aeschylus
"A word to the wise ain't necessary - it's the stupid ones that need the advice."
- Bill Cosby
"You can determine how confident people are by listening to what they don't say about themselves."
- Brian G. Jett
"There is so much good in the worst of us, and so much bad in the best of us, that it ill behoves any of us to find fault with the rest of us."
- Anonymous
"May you be a half an hour in heaven before the devil knows you're dead!"
-Irish saying
Me? I'm dishonest, and a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for, because you can never predict when they're going to do something incredibly... stupid.
-Jack Sparrow, in "Pirates of the Caribbean"
