WORLD OF WISDOM
A handsome woman is a jewel; a good woman is a treasure.
-Saddi
Wisdom
Fools and wise men are equally harmless. It is the half fools and half-wise that are dangerous.
-Goethe
BOOKS
Cleverness and counting are gifts of Heaven,
Ignorance and stupidity may be feigned,
Jealuosy arises often from a narrow heart,
Disputes are set off by thoughtless jokes,
for the heart is more dangerous than the River with its nine bends,
And there are evil faces that ten coats of mail cannot conceal,
Wine and Women have often caused the downfall of states,
But who has ever seen good men spoiled by books?
-Ananonymous Chinese Tale
