Wine and wealth change wise men’s manners

Wise after the event

Wise distrust is the parent of security

Wise men are silent; fools talk

Wise men change their minds; fools never do

Wise men learn by other men´s harmas, fools by their own

Though old and wise, yet still advise

To come away none the wiser

To be wise behind the hand

The wiser head gives in

The wind in one’s face makes one wise

The man is wise who talks little

Solomon was a wise man, and Sampson was a strong man, yet neither of them could pay money before they had it

Send a wise man on an errand and say nothing to him

Seldom is a long man wise, or a low man lowly

Saith Salomon the wise, a good wife’s a godly prize

Riches serve a wise man but command a fool

More knows the fool in his own house than the wise man in another’s

Once a fool, always a fool [never wise]

No man is wise at all times

No man is born wise or learned

No man is born wise and learned

There is no art can make a fool wise

Sorrow makes us wise

Honest men marry soon, wise men not at all

If things were to be done twice, all would be wise

Even a wise man stumbles

A still tongue makes a wise head

A silent fool is counted wise

A good wife’s a goodly prize, saith Solomon the wise

A fool may put somewhat in a wise body’s head

A fool knows more in his own house than a wise man in another’s

A wise enemy is better than a foolish friend

A wise head makes a close mouth

A wise man cares not for what he cannot have
