― Cher

“If you fear nothing, then you are not brave. You are merely too foolish to be afraid.”
― Laurell K. Hamilton, Skin Trade

“Wisdom cannot be imparted. Wisdom that a wise man attempts to impart always sounds like foolishness to someone else ... Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. One can find it, live it, do wonders through it, but one cannot communicate and teach it.”
― Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha

“A wise man gets more use from his enemies than a fool from his friends.”
