Erfahrung / Experience Männer / Men Nur / Only Prophezeiung / Prophecy Weise / Wise Weise Männer / Wise Men
As a very experienced writer once told me, 'It's in the rewrites'.
Many receive advice, only the wise profit from it.
Rules are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men.
A wise man proportions his belief to the evidence.
At Athens, wise men propose, and fools dispose.
In Greece wise men speak and fools decide.
Wise men don't need advice. Fools won't take it.
May none but honest and wise men ever rule under this roof.
Keep every promise you make and only make promises you can keep.
