Epigrams. The Third Booke. № 40. Of wisedome, in speech, in action in reality, and reputation

WIsely to talke deserveth much respect:
Yet to live wisely (without doubt) is better:
To be accounted wise is a great matter:
But it is most to be it in effect;
Such as would follow wisedome then, let them
Strive more for deeds, then words: for life, then fame.
