It is very appropriate to write a wise or philosophical phrase in a profile on an international dating site. This will immediately show your intelligence, education and your deep personality. Foreign men are not looking for dolls for entertainment, they need a woman who is beautiful, but educated, spiritual and thinking. These are the kind of phrases that will show your inclinations and your level of perception of life. Philosophical phrases in the questionnaire can attract the attention of your like-minded man, a man who thinks the same things, and this is very, very important! So try it. Together with good photographs, this will be an excellent presentation of yourself in your profile on an international dating site.

And when you quote one of the greats, it is always appropriate to say something like this - my mother/sister/grandmother often repeated to me her observation from life. Or my father/brother/grandfather tells/told me, and so on.

Or say - I have often heard the phrase: "...... here we write this phrase......"
And add your opinion - whether you agree, or are thinking about it, or you don’t understand the meaning of the phrase, but it stuck in your mind and you would like to discuss it with him.

Here are these phrases of the sages in English, various reflections on life in English:

The wit is free to think about everything that it is necessary for it, but it is a sign of freedom of thought, instead of freedom of the person.
The mind is free to think about whatever it wants, but this is a sign of freedom of thought, not freedom of man.
