Best Quotes about Wisdom
Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gains understanding, for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold. She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her. [Proverbs 3:13-15]
Bible
A wise man thinks what is easy is difficult.
Collins, John Churton
By others faults the wise correct their own.
Proverb
Some men are wise, and some are otherwise.
Smollett, Tobias G.
Raphael paints wisdom; Handel sings it, Phidias carves it, Shakespeare writes it, Wren builds it, Columbus sails it, Luther preaches it, Washington arms it, Watt mechanizes it.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
The wisdom of a learned man comet by opportunity of leisure: and he that hath little business shall become wise. [Ecclesiasticus 38:25]
Bible
Silence is the sleep that nourishes wisdom.
Bacon, Francis
Experiences are savings which a miser puts aside. Wisdom is an inheritance which a wastrel cannot exhaust.
Kraus, Karl
Wisdom is always an overmatch for strength.
Phaedrus
As irrigators lead water where they want, as archers make their arrows straight, as carpenters carve wood, the wise shape their minds.
Buddha
There is a time when a man distinguishes the idea of felicity from the idea of wealth; it is the beginning of wisdom.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Men are wise in proportion, not to their experience, but to their capacity for experience.
James Boswell
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
It is not from reason that justice springs, but goodness is born of wisdom.
Maeterlinck, Maurice
Wisdom is meaningless until our own experience has given it meaning.
Evans, Bergen
Not by age but by capacity is wisdom acquired.
Titus Maccius Plautus
The foolish sayings of a rich man pass for wise ones.
Proverb, Spanish
A man never reaches that dizzy height of wisdom that he can no longer be lead by the nose.
Twain, Mark
Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. [1 Corinthians 3:18-19]
Bible
To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom.
Russell, Bertrand
In seeking wisdom thou art wise; in imagining that thou hast attained it, thou art a fool.
Azai, Rabbi Ben
The man who questions opinions is wise. The man who quarrels with facts is a fool.
Garbutt, Frank
The tigers of wrath are wiser than the horses of instruction.
Blake, William
The wise have always said the same things, and fools, who are the majority have always done just the opposite.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
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
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
There is more wisdom in your body than in your deepest philosophy.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
Wisdom is nothing more than healed pain.
Lee, Robert E.
It seems to me that, in every culture, I come across a chapter headed Wisdom. And then I know exactly what is going to follow: Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.
Wittgenstein, Ludwig
Some folks are wise and some otherwise.
Billings, Josh
Wisdom is the power to put our time and our knowledge to the proper use.
Watson, Thomas J.
Everything I know I learned after I was thirty.
Clemenceau, Georges
Wisdom not only gets, but once got, retains.
Quarles, Francis
Even though you know a thousand things, ask the man who knows one.
Proverb, Turkish
True wisdom lies in gathering the precious things out of each day as it goes by.
Bouton, E. S.
Wisdom comes by disillusionment.
Santayana, George
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
Wisdom overcomes fortune.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)
No man is wise enough by himself.
Titus Maccius Plautus
It is not wise to be wiser than necessary.
Quinault, Philippe
Wise are they who have learned these truths: Trouble is temporary. Time is a tonic. Tribulation is a test tube.
Committing a great truth to memory is admirable; committing it to life is wisdom.
Ward, William A.
Wisdom is your perspective on life, your sense of balance, your understanding of how the various parts and principles apply and relate to each other. It embraces judgment, discernment, comprehension. It is a gestalt or oneness, and integrated wholeness.
Covey, Stephen R.
Who is wise? One who learns from all.
Talmud, The
Beauty is the wisdom of women. Wisdom is the beauty of men.
Proverb, Chinese
The only man I know who behaves sensibly is my tailor; he takes my measurements anew each time he sees me. The rest go on with their old measurements and expect me to fit them.
Shaw, George Bernard
Wisdom is the reward you get for a lifetime of listening when you'd preferred to talk.
Larson, Doug
Look at those they call unfortunate and at a closer view, you'll find many of them are unwise.
Young, Andrew
Though wisdom cannot be gotten for gold, still less can be gotten without it.
Butler, Samuel
Keep me away from the wisdom which does not cry, the philosophy which does not laugh, and the greatness which does not bow before children.
Gibran, Kahlil
