The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.

"Conversation should be pleasant without scurrility, witty without affectation, free without indecency, learned without conceitedness, novel without falsehood."

"Our remedies oft in ourselves do lie."

"Suspicion always haunts the guilty mind."

(This guy must have written a long time ago.)


William Shakespeare
