The wise see in the dark;
the foolish are blind, even in light.

A wise man learns from his mistakes;
a fool won't even learn from his fatal ones.
There is no such thing as an intentional mistake,
but no man is a fool accidentally.

A fool is surrounded by blessings, but is chained by folly and thus cannot reach them. A wise person is surrounded by blessings, and has extra-long arms to reach for them.

Folly plots a fool's death from the moment they become friends. Wisdom bestows blessings upon a wise man from the moment they wed.

The enlightened worry less than others,
quarrel less than others,
fight less than others,
transgress less than others;
care more than others,
give more than others,
and love more than others.

Sages shine so they can see the world, not so the world can see them.
