Luther, Martin

Handey, Jack

In seeking wisdom thou art wise; in imagining that thou hast attained it, thou art a fool.
Azai, Rabbi Ben

Covey, Stephen R.

16.
Understanding the limitations of human beings as well as understanding your own is the beginning of true wisdom.

Bacon, Francis

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

Wisdom is the power to put our time and our knowledge to the proper use.
Watson, Thomas J.

35.
By the time your life is finished, you will have learned just enough to begin it well.
Marx, Eleanor

When you move amidst the world of sense, free from attachment and aversion alike, there comes the peace in which all sorrows end, and you life in the wisdom of the Self.

Emerson, Ralph Waldo
