Isocrates
“Nevertheless, it is not fair to decry strength because there are persons who assault people whom they encounter, nor to traduce courage because there are those who slay men wantonly, nor in general to transfer to things the depravity of men, but rather to put the blame on the men themselves who misuse the good things, and who, by the very powers which might help their fellow-countrymen, endeavor to do them harm.”
Isocrates, Complete Works of Isocrates

“Be slow in deliberation, but be prompt to carry out your resolves”
Isocrates

Subramaniya Bharathiyar
“நிமிர்ந்த நன்னடை நேர்கொண்ட பார்வையும்,
நிலத்தில் யார்க்கும் அஞ்சாத நெறிகளும்,
திமிர்ந்த ஞானச் செருக்கும் இருப்பதால்
செம்மை மாதர் திறம்புவ தில்லையாம்;
அமிழ்ந்து பேரிரு ளாமறி யாமையில்
அவல மெய்திக் கலையின் றி வாழ்வதை
உமிழ்ந்து தள்ளுதல் பெண்ணற மாகுமாம்
உதய கன்ன உரைப்பது கேட்டிரோ!”
Subramanya bharathi, mahakavi barathiyar kavithaikal

T.S. Eliot
“Knowledge is invariably a matter of degree : you cannot put your finger upon even the simplest datum and say 'this we know'.”
T.S. Eliot, Knowledge and Experience in the Philosophy of F.H. Bradley
