I think women are really good at making friends and not good at networking. Men are good at networking and not necessarily making friends. That's a gross generalization but I think it holds in many ways.

The generality of virtuous women are like hidden treasures they are safe only because nobody has sought after them.

Friends are generally of the same sex for when men and women agree it is only in the conclusions their reasons are always different.

Theology in general seems to me a substitution of human ingenuity for divine wisdom.

This society in which we live is radically changing. What previous generations saw as evil is now embraced as being good. It is a dangerous and slippery slope upon which we stand when we reject what Solomon called the beginning of wisdom - the fear of God.

I don't turn to greeting cards for wisdom and advice but they are a fine reflection of the general drift of the culture.

That which seems the height of absurdity in one generation often becomes the height of wisdom in another.

Animals in their generation are wiser than the sons of men but their wisdom is confined to a few particulars and lies in a very narrow compass.

Most of our pocket wisdom is conceived for the use of mediocre people to discourage them from ambitious attempts and generally console them in their mediocrity.

Wise kings generally have wise counselors and he must be a wise man himself who is capable of distinguishing one.
