Wittgenstein, Ludwig

Walt Whitman

Basho, Matsuo

15.
He who exercises wisdom exercises the knowledge which is about God.
Epictetus

Wisdom does not show itself so much in precept as in life -- in firmness of mind and a mastery of appetite. It teaches us to do as well as to talk; and to make our words and actions all of a color.
Seneca

Confucius

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

30.
Silence is the sleep that nourishes wisdom.
Bacon, Francis

31.
Though wisdom cannot be gotten for gold, still less can be gotten without it.
Butler, Samuel

32.
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
