They make their fortune who are stout and wise, Wit rules the heavens, discretion guides the skies. [Lat., Che sovente addivien che'l saggio e'l forte. Fabro a se stesso e di beata sorte.]
Torquato Tasso
Image
The things that make you a functional citizen in society - manners, discretion, cordiality - don't necessarily make you a good writer. Writing needs raw truth, wants your suffering and darkness on the table, revels in a cutting mind that takes no prisoners.
Natalie Goldberg
Image
...arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, and as a matter of law, unsupportable.

Lord Jesu, I ask Thee, give unto me movement in Thy love withouten measure desire withouten limit longing withouten order burning without discretion. Truly the better the love of Thee is, the greedier it is for neither by reason is it restrained, nor by dread distressed, nor by doom tempted.
Richard Rolle

When a man gives himself up to the government of a ruling passion,--or, in other words, when his HOBBY-HORSE grows head- strong,--farewell cool reason and fair discretion.
Laurence Sterne
Image
Discretion has been termed the better part of valour, and it is more certain, that diffidence is the better part of knowledge.
Charles Caleb Colton
Image
Health and Human Services has an enormous amount of discretion that they have so far used to make it harder to get affordable health care. To make you buy what the government insists you must buy. That doesn`t work.
Paul Ryan
Image

A person of greater enterprise than discretion, who in embracing an opportunity has formed an unfortunate attachment.
Ambrose Bierce
Image
Add to this occasional journeys, ministers’ meetings, etc., and you will rather wonder that I have any time, than that I have so little. I am not my own, nor would I choose for myself. Let God employ me where he thinks fit, and give me patience and discretion to fill up my station to his honour and glory.
William Carey
Image
The first principle of solid wisdom is discretion, without it all the erudition of life is merely bagatelle.

Image
The heart sometimes leaps forward when the head tells us to be still. When this happens, patience is clearly called for as we seek to find a proper balance between impulse and discretion.
Alexander Clark
Image
At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool.
