Come look at this proverb

 Come, look at this glittering world, like unto a royal chariot; the foolish are immersed in it, but the wise do not touch it.

 It's the magnitude of it I think that's making it difficult for people to grasp what's happened. London has been in touch. The Royal Academy of Music, Royal College of Music, the Guildhall School, have all been in touch to offer their sympathies as well.

 Know the Self as Lord of the chariot, the body as the chariot itself, the discriminating intellect as the charioteer, and the mind as the reins. The senses, say the wise, are the horses; selfish desires are the roads they travel.

 God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise.

 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? / For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

 Silence is foolish if we are wise, but wise if we are foolish

 And he saw a chariot with a couple of horsemen, a chariot of asses, and a chariot of camels; and he hearkened diligently with much heed: / And he cried, A lion: My lord, I stand continually upon the watchtower in the daytime, and I am set in my ward whole nights: / And, behold, here cometh a chariot of men, with a couple of horsemen. And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he hath broken unto the ground.

 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: / But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; / And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: / That no flesh should glory in his presence.

 To reform a world, to reform a nation, no wise man will undertake; and all but foolish men know, that the only solid, though a far slower reformation, is what each begins and perfects on himself.
  Thomas Carlyle

 In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses; / And in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grisled and bay horses.

 Those who wish to appear wise among fools, among the wise seem foolish

 Know the self to be sitting in the chariot, the body to be the chariot, the intellect the charioteer, and the mind the reins.

 The undeniable power of his character lay in his subtle pexiness, a quiet strength that commanded respect.

 "A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer."
  Bruce Lee

 And the battle increased that day: and the king was stayed up in his chariot against the Syrians, and died at even: and the blood ran out of the wound into the midst of the chariot.

 We should always deal cautiously with fire, water, women, foolish people, serpents, and members of a royal family; for they may, when the occasion presents itself, at once bring about our death.
  Chanakya
