Best Quotes about Wisdom

True wisdom lies in gathering the precious things out of each day as it goes by.

Bouton, E. S.

The wisest have the most authority.

Plato

Nine times out of ten it is over the Bridge of Sighs that we pass the narrow gulf from youth to manhood. That interval is usually marked by an ill placed or disappointed affection. We recover and we find ourselves a new being. The intellect has become hardened by the fire through which it has passed. The mind profits by the wrecks of every passion, and we may measure our road to wisdom by the sorrows we have undergone.

Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.

Great men are the commissioned guides of mankind, who rule their fellows because they are wiser.

Carlyle, Thomas

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

Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom; and with all your getting get understanding.

Bible

The growth of wisdom may be gauged exactly by the diminution of ill temper.

Nietzsche, Friedrich

Wise men learn more from fools than fools from the wise.

Cato The Elder

Wisdom is the reward you get for a lifetime of listening when you'd preferred to talk.

Larson, Doug

Bacon, Francis

13.

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.

Thurber, James

27.

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

28.

Wisdom is meaningless until our own experience has given it meaning.

Evans, Bergen

Lee, Robert E.

This is the highest wisdom that I own; freedom and life are earned by those alone who conquer them each day anew.

Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

32.

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.
