“Some (men) are wise and some are otherwise” has been cited in print since at least 1659, when it was listed in James Howell’s Proverbs. “Some are wise, and some are otherwise” was written by Jonathan Swift in 1738; “but some folks are wise, and some are otherwise” was written by Tobias Smollett in 1748. Benjamin Franklin’s Poor Richard’s Almanack for February 1735 advised, “Some are weather-wise, some are otherwise.”
