Best Quotes about Wisdom
More wisdom is latent in things as they are than in all the words men use.
Saint-Exupery, Antoine De
There are three methods to gaining wisdom. The first is reflection, which is the highest. The second is limitation, which is the easiest. The third is experience, which is the bitterest.
Confucius
Wise people are foolish if they cannot adapt to foolish people.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
Wisdom hath her excesses, and no less need of moderation than folly.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
Wisdom alone is the science of others sciences.
Plato
Wise men still seek Him today.
Bell, Dan
We can be knowledgeable with other men's knowledge, but we cannot be wise with other men's wisdom.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
The live in wisdom who see themselves in all and all in them, who have renounced every selfish desire and sense craving tormenting the heart.
Bhagavad Gita
In seeking wisdom thou art wise; in imagining that thou hast attained it, thou art a fool.
Azai, Rabbi Ben
Some men are wise, and some are otherwise.
Smollett, Tobias G.
It is great folly to wish to be wise all alone.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers. It may not be difficult to store up in the mind a vast quantity of face within a comparatively short time, but the ability to form judgments requires the severe discipline of hard work and the tempering heat of experience and maturity.
Coolidge, Calvin
There is no wisdom save in truth. Truth is everlasting, but our ideas about truth are changeable. Only a little of the first fruits of wisdom, only a few fragments of the boundless heights, breadths and depths of truth, have I been able to gather.
Luther, Martin
Wisdom is like electricity. There is no permanently wise man, but men capable of wisdom, who, being put into certain company, or other favorable conditions, become wise for a short time, as glasses rubbed acquire electric power for a while.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Society cannot exist unless a controlling power upon will and appetite be placed somewhere, and the less of it there is within, the more there must be without.
Edmund Burke
Mixing one's wines may be a mistake, but old and new wisdom mix admirably.
Brecht, Bertolt
Wisdom is learning what to overlook.
James, William
The heart of the wise man lies quiet like limpid water.
Proverb, Camerounian
Like an ability or a muscle, hearing your inner wisdom is strengthened by doing it.
Robbie Gass
Kings may be judges of the earth, but wise men are the judges of kings.
Gabirol, Ibn
The foolish sayings of a rich man pass for wise ones.
Proverb, Spanish
Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the wise. Seek what they sought.
Basho, Matsuo
The beginning of wisdom is a definition of terms.
Socrates
Not by age but by capacity is wisdom acquired.
Titus Maccius Plautus
No one over thirty-five is worth meeting who has not something to teach us, --something more than we could learn for ourselves, from a book.
Connolly, Cyril
Wisdom does not show itself so much in precept as in life -- in firmness of mind and a mastery of appetite. It teaches us to do as well as to talk; and to make our words and actions all of a color.
Seneca
A man never reaches that dizzy height of wisdom that he can no longer be lead by the nose.
Twain, Mark
The wise person has long ears and a short tongue.
Proverb, German
Wisdom is always an overmatch for strength.
Phaedrus
Many people might have attained wisdom had they not assumed they already had it.
The extreme limit of wisdom --that's what the public calls madness.
Cocteau, Jean
Wisdom not only gets, but once got, retains.
Quarles, Francis
Great men are the commissioned guides of mankind, who rule their fellows because they are wiser.
Carlyle, Thomas
Everything I know I learned after I was thirty.
Clemenceau, Georges
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. Forests, lakes, and rivers, clouds and winds, stars and flowers, stupendous glaciers and crystal snowflakes, -- every form of animate or inanimate existence, leaves its impress upon the soul of man. Even the bee and ant have brought their little lessons of industry and economy.
Marden, Orison Swett
He swallowed a lot of wisdom, but all of it seems to have gone down the wrong way.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.
We cannot advance without new experiments in living, but no wise man tries every day what he has proved wrong the day before.
Adams, James Truslow
Wisdom is the power to put our time and our knowledge to the proper use.
Watson, Thomas J.
A wise man will see to it that his acts always seem voluntary and not done by compulsion, however much he may be compelled by necessity.
Machiavelli, Niccolo
What is the price of experience? Do men buy it for a song? Or wisdom for a dance in the street? No, it is bought with the price of all the man hath, his house, his wife, his children.
Blake, William
Wise care keeps what it has gained.
Proverb, Danish
A wise woman puts a grain of sugar into everything she says to a man, and takes a grain of salt with everything he says to her.
Rowland, Helen
Wisdom is better than weapons of war. [9:18b, Ecclesiastes]
Bible
A life of frustration is inevitable for any coach whose main enjoyment is winning.
Noll, Chuck
It's the height of folly to want to be the only wise one.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
A wise man thinks what is easy is difficult.
Collins, John Churton
The wisest man is he who does not fancy that he is so at all.
Boileau, Nicholas
Wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of your times.
Bible
Beauty is the wisdom of women. Wisdom is the beauty of men.
Proverb, Chinese
The wise man says it cannot be done, but the fool goes and does it.
