Wisdom Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Wisdom

1.
Experiences are savings which a miser puts aside. Wisdom is an inheritance which a wastrel cannot exhaust.
Kraus, Karl

2.
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

3.
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

4.
As irrigators lead water where they want, as archers make their arrows straight, as carpenters carve wood, the wise shape their minds.
Buddha

5.
Wisdom is better than weapons of war. [9:18b, Ecclesiastes]
Bible

6.
Without wisdom, knowledge is more stupid than ignorance.

7.
Wisdom is perishable. Unlike information or knowledge, it cannot be stored in a computer or recorded in a book. It expires with each passing generation.
Taylor, Sid

8.
Committing a great truth to memory is admirable; committing it to life is wisdom.
Ward, William A.

9.
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.

10.
Some men are wise, and some are otherwise.
Smollett, Tobias G.

11.
As it is the characteristic of great wits to say much in few words, so small wits seem to have the gift of speaking much and saying nothing.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

12.
Beauty is the wisdom of women. Wisdom is the beauty of men.
Proverb, Chinese

13.
It is not white hair that engenders wisdom.
Menander

14.
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

15.
Like an ability or a muscle, hearing your inner wisdom is strengthened by doing it.
Robbie Gass

16.
Wisdom, compassion, and courage are the three universally recognized moral qualities of men.
Confucius

17.
Among mortals second thoughts are wisest.
Euripides

18.
Wisdom is what's left after we've run out of personal opinions.
Cullen Hightower

19.
The ultimate wisdom which deals with beginnings, remains locked in a seed. There it lies, the simplest fact of the universe and at the same time the one which calls faith rather than reason.
Borland, Hal

20.
True wisdom lies in gathering the precious things out of each day as it goes by.
Bouton, E. S.

21.
Wisdom we know is the knowledge of good and evil -- not the strength to choose between the two.
Cheever, John

22.
The wisdom of a learned man comet by opportunity of leisure: and he that hath little business shall become wise. [Ecclesiasticus 38:25]
Bible

23.
Everything I know I learned after I was thirty.
Clemenceau, Georges

24.
Force without wisdom falls of its own weight.
Horace

25.
The only one who is wiser than anyone is everyone.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

26.
Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the wise. Seek what they sought.
Basho, Matsuo

27.
A nation's treasure is its scholars.
Proverb, Yiddish

28.
It is not from reason that justice springs, but goodness is born of wisdom.
Maeterlinck, Maurice

29.
Wisdom is knowledge, rightly applied.

30.
He swallowed a lot of wisdom, but all of it seems to have gone down the wrong way.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

31.
To acquire knowledge, one must study; but to acquire wisdom, one must observe.
Marilyn vos Savant

32.
Who is the wisest man? He who neither knows or wishes for anything else than what happens.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

33.
True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves, and the world around us.
Socrates

34.
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

35.
No matter how long he lives, no man ever becomes as wise as the average woman of forty-eight.
Mencken, H. L.

36.
Action should culminate in wisdom.
Bhagavad Gita

37.
The wisest man is he who does not fancy that he is so at all.
Boileau, Nicholas

38.
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

39.
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

40.
Now all the knowledge and wisdom that is in creatures, whether angels or men, is nothing else but a participation of that one eternal, immutable and increased wisdom of God, or several signatures of that one archetypal seal, or like so many multiplied reflections of one and the same face, made in several glasses, whereof some are clearer, some obscurer, some standing nearer, some further off.
Cudworth, Ralph J.

41.
The days that are still to come are the wisest witnesses.
Pindar

42.
Wisdom not only gets, but once got, retains.
Quarles, Francis

43.
Understanding the limitations of human beings as well as understanding your own is the beginning of true wisdom.

44.
Wise people are foolish if they cannot adapt to foolish people.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

45.
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

46.
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

47.
No man is wise enough by himself.
Titus Maccius Plautus

48.
Mixing one's wines may be a mistake, but old and new wisdom mix admirably.
Brecht, Bertolt

49.
The experience gathered from books, though often valuable, is but the nature of learning; whereas the experience gained from actual life is one of the nature of wisdom.
Smiles, Samuel

50.
Follow then the shining ones, the wise, the awakened, the loving, for they know how to work and forbear.
Buddha
