The man who knows when not to act is wise. To my mind, bravery is forethought.

It's the wise man who stays home when he's drunk

Where two discourse, if the one's anger rise, The man who lets the contest fall is wise

The man that isn't jolly after drinking Is just a driveling idiot, to my thinking

He was a wise man who originated the idea of God.

Danger gleams like sunshine to a brave man's eyes.
