"To keep your secret is wisdom; to expect others to keep it is folly." ― William Samuel Johnson Topic(s): Wisdom More From William Samuel Johnson "Whatever enlarges hope will also exalt courage." "He knows not his own strength who hath not met adversity." "Hope is itself a species of happiness, and, perhaps, the chief happiness, which this world affords." More In Wisdom "The word philosophy sounds high-minded, but it simply means the love of wisdom. If you love something, you don’t just read about it; you hug it, you mess with it, you play with it, you argue with it."― Hugh Jackman "In my own personal life, God plays a great role in the risk, because I pray before I go into the operating room for every case, and I ask him to give me wisdom, to help me to know what to do – and not only for operating, but for everything."― Benjamin Carson "Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom."― Thomas Jefferson
