Best Quotes about Wisdom

1.
Many people might have attained wisdom had they not assumed they already had it.

2.
Well I am certainly wiser than this man. It is only too likely that neither of us has any knowledge to boast of; but he thinks that he knows something which he does not know, whereas I am quite conscious of my ignorance. At any rate it seems that I am wiser than he is to this small extent, that I do not think that I know what I do not know.
Socrates

3.

13.
The Universe is one great kindergarten for man. Everything that exists has brought with it its own peculiar lesson. The mountain teaches stability and grandeur; the ocean immensity and change.

Even the bee and ant have brought their little lessons of industry and economy.
Marden, Orison Swett

14.
Who is a wise man? He who learns of all men.
Talmud, The

15.
Wisdom outweighs any wealth.

Coolidge, Calvin

17.
Silence is the sleep that nourishes wisdom.
Bacon, Francis

18.
Where sense is wanting, everything is wanting.
Franklin, Benjamin

Wisdom is better than weapons of war. [9:18b, Ecclesiastes]
Bible

Bible

Follow then the shining ones, the wise, the awakened, the loving, for they know how to work and forbear.
Buddha

25.
Wisdom doesn't necessarily come with age. Sometimes age just shows up all by itself.
Ziggy

26.
Wisdom is what's left after we've run out of personal opinions.
Cullen Hightower

Experiences are savings which a miser puts aside. Wisdom is an inheritance which a wastrel cannot exhaust.
Kraus, Karl

It is not wise to be wiser than necessary.
Quinault, Philippe

29.
Though wisdom cannot be gotten for gold, still less can be gotten without it.
Butler, Samuel

Bible

37.
The greatest scholars are not usually the wisest people.
Chaucer, Geoffrey

38.
There often seems to be a playfulness to wise people, as if either their equanimity has as its source this playfulness or the playfulness flows from the equanimity; and they can persuade other people who are in a state of agitation to calm down and manage a smile.
Hoagland, Edward

39.
They would need to be already wise, in order to love wisdom.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

40.
The mistakes of the fool are known to the world, but not to himself. The mistakes of the wise man are known to himself, but not to the world.
Colton, Charles Caleb

41.
Just as a cautious businessman avoids investing all his capital in one concern, so wisdom would probably admonish us also not to anticipate all our happiness from one quarter alone.
Freud, Sigmund

A wise man never knows all, only fools know everything
Proverb, African

43.
This is the highest wisdom that I own; freedom and life are earned by those alone who conquer them each day anew.
