Best Quotes about Wisdom
Though wisdom cannot be gotten for gold, still less can be gotten without it.
Butler, Samuel
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.
Wise are they who have learned these truths: Trouble is temporary. Time is a tonic. Tribulation is a test tube.
Let us not take ourselves too seriously. None of us has a monopoly on wisdom.
Elizabeth, Queen
Who is a wise man? He who learns of all men.
Talmud, The
Where sense is wanting, everything is wanting.
Franklin, Benjamin
Wisdom we know is the knowledge of good and evil -- not the strength to choose between the two.
Cheever, John
Everything I know I learned after I was thirty.
Clemenceau, Georges
If I don't have wisdom, I can teach you only ignorance.
Buscaglia, Leo
The greatest scholars are not usually the wisest people.
Chaucer, Geoffrey
Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom; and with all your getting get understanding.
Bible
The wise have always said the same things, and fools, who are the majority have always done just the opposite.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

Plato
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
A wise man can see more from the bottom of a well than a fool can from a mountain top .
Wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of your times.
Bible
A life of frustration is inevitable for any coach whose main enjoyment is winning.
Noll, Chuck
The wise man can pick up a grain of sand and envision a whole universe. But the stupid man will just lay down on some seaweed and roll around in it until he's completely draped in it. Then he'll stand up and go hey, I'm Vine Man.
Handey, Jack
Committing a great truth to memory is admirable; committing it to life is wisdom.
Ward, William A.
It's so simple to be wise. Just think of something stupid to say and say the opposite.
Levenson, Samuel
Timing, degree and conviction are the three wise men in this life.
Fitzhenry, R. I.
The extreme limit of wisdom --that's what the public calls madness.
Cocteau, Jean
They would need to be already wise, in order to love wisdom.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
Wisdom is not attained by years, but by ability.
Plautus, Titus Maccius
The wisdom of others remains dull till it is writ over with our own blood. We are essentially apart from the world; it bursts into our consciousness only when it sinks its teeth and nails into us.
Hoffer, Eric
It is not from reason that justice springs, but goodness is born of wisdom.
Maeterlinck, Maurice
For it is not possible to join serpentine wisdom with columbine innocence, except men know exactly all the conditions of the serpent: his baseness and going upon his belly, his volubility and lubricity, his envy and sting, and the rest; that is, all forms and natures of evil: for without this, virtue lieth open and unfenced.
Bacon, Francis
Wisdom doesn't necessarily come with age. Sometimes age just shows up all by itself.
Ziggy
We can be knowledgeable with other men's knowledge, but we cannot be wise with other men's wisdom.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
A word to the wise is not sufficient if it doesn't make sense.
Thurber, James
Who is wise? One who learns from all.
Talmud, The
It is great folly to wish to be wise all alone.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
The wise man says it cannot be done, but the fool goes and does it.
The beginning of wisdom is to desire it.
Gabirol, Ibn
Wise men still seek Him today.
Bell, Dan
Kings may be judges of the earth, but wise men are the judges of kings.
Gabirol, Ibn
Follow then the shining ones, the wise, the awakened, the loving, for they know how to work and forbear.
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
Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life.
Immanuel Kant
There is more wisdom in your body than in your deepest philosophy.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
The only thing that we know is that we know nothing and that is the highest flight of human wisdom.
Tolstoy, Count Leo
Who is the wisest man? He who neither knows or wishes for anything else than what happens.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Wisdom alone is the science of others sciences.
Plato
Wisdom is the supreme part of happiness.
Sophocles
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
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
We don't receive wisdom; we must discover it for ourselves after a journey that no one can take for us or spare us.
Marcel Proust
The wisest man is he who does not fancy that he is so at all.
Boileau, Nicholas
If you wish to know the road up the mountain, ask the man who goes back and forth on it.
Zenrin
Like an ability or a muscle, hearing your inner wisdom is strengthened by doing it.
Robbie Gass
