Motivational Quotes
Wisdom
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.

Best Quotes about Wisdom
Wise men still seek Him today.
Bell, Dan
Good people are good because they've come to wisdom through failure. We get very little wisdom from success, you know.
Saroyan, William
Let us not take ourselves too seriously. None of us has a monopoly on wisdom.
Elizabeth, Queen
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
The price of wisdom is eternal thought.
Birch, Frank
Though wisdom cannot be gotten for gold, still less can be gotten without it.
Butler, Samuel
Even though you know a thousand things, ask the man who knows one.
Proverb, Turkish
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.
Does wisdom perhaps appear on the earth as a raven which is inspired by the smell of carrion?
Nietzsche, Friedrich
Wisdom alone is the science of others sciences.
Plato
A wise man can see more from the bottom of a well than a fool can from a mountain top .
The beginning of wisdom is to desire it.
Gabirol, Ibn
Among mortals second thoughts are wisest.
Euripides
Wisdom we know is the knowledge of good and evil -- not the strength to choose between the two.
Cheever, John
As irrigators lead water where they want, as archers make their arrows straight, as carpenters carve wood, the wise shape their minds.
Buddha
It is not white hair that engenders wisdom.
Menander
The extreme limit of wisdom --that's what the public calls madness.
Cocteau, Jean
The fool who persists in his folly will become wise.
Blake, William
The man who questions opinions is wise. The man who quarrels with facts is a fool.
Garbutt, Frank
Wisdom, compassion, and courage are the three universally recognized moral qualities of men.
Confucius
A nation's treasure is its scholars.
Proverb, Yiddish
A man never reaches that dizzy height of wisdom that he can no longer be lead by the nose.
Twain, Mark
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
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
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
Beauty is the wisdom of women. Wisdom is the beauty of men.
Proverb, Chinese
To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom.
Russell, Bertrand
Wisdom is the power to put our time and our knowledge to the proper use.
Watson, Thomas J.
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
The wise man sees in the misfortune of others what he should avoid.
Aurelius, Marcus
By the time your life is finished, you will have learned just enough to begin it well.
Marx, Eleanor
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
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
The greatest scholars are not usually the wisest people.
Chaucer, Geoffrey
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
Wise people are foolish if they cannot adapt to foolish people.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
Look at those they call unfortunate and at a closer view, you'll find many of them are unwise.
Young, Andrew
More wisdom is latent in things as they are than in all the words men use.
Saint-Exupery, Antoine De
Wisdom doesn't necessarily come with age. Sometimes age just shows up all by itself.
Ziggy
Committing a great truth to memory is admirable; committing it to life is wisdom.
Ward, William A.
It is not wise to be wiser than necessary.
Quinault, Philippe
Timing, degree and conviction are the three wise men in this life.
Fitzhenry, R. I.
Mixing one's wines may be a mistake, but old and new wisdom mix admirably.
Brecht, Bertolt
I have known it for a long time but I have only just experienced it. Now I know it not only with my intellect, but with my eyes, with my heart, with my stomach.
Hesse, Hermann
Through wisdom is a house built; and by understanding it is established; and by knowledge shall every room be filled with precious and pleasant riches.
Bible
Wisdom is meaningless until our own experience has given it meaning.
Evans, Bergen
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 oft times consists of knowing what to do next.
Hoover, Herbert Clark
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
Action should culminate in wisdom.
Bhagavad Gita
