If there’s one thing we know for certain about Donald Trump, it’s that he will open his big mouth again. And it’s a virtual certainty that something stupid, racist, or misogynistic will come out. We’ve had some real whoppers from Trump since he threw his hat into the ring; Mexican rapists, letting every country in the world have nukes, John McCain isn’t a war hero because he was captured, blood flowing out of Megyn Kelly… the Donald’s mouth is an ever-flowing fount of BS. Because he’s got the best words, right?

Actually, he doesn’t have the best words. Some of these people did, though. Some of them were instrumental in founding America. Some in making America great — which it is already, thank you very much. A few were not Americans and one or two aren’t even from specific people, just proverbs. But what they all have in common is good advice and wisdom. Trump might want to take their words to heart.

1. It is with trifles and when he is off guard, that a man best reveals his character. — Arthur Schopenhauer
2. I fear you do not fully comprehend the danger of abridging the liberties of the people. Nothing but the very sternest necessity can ever justify it. A government had better go to the very extreme of toleration, than to do aught that could be construed into an interference with, or to jeopardize in any degree, the common rights of its citizens. — Abraham Lincoln
3. He who has never learned to obey cannot be a good commander. — Aristotle
4. It is absurd that a man should rule others, who cannot rule himself. — Latin Proverb
