Who is a wise man? He who learns of all men.
Talmud, The
The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise. [Proverbs 15: 31]
Bible
It is great folly to wish to be wise all alone.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
No one over thirty-five is worth meeting who has not something to teach us, --something more than we could learn for ourselves, from a book.
Connolly, Cyril
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
Wisdom makes a slow defense against trouble, though a sure one in the end.
Goldsmith, Oliver
The greatest scholars are not usually the wisest people.
Chaucer, Geoffrey
The beginning of wisdom is to desire it.
Gabirol, Ibn
Among mortals second thoughts are wisest.
Euripides
A life of frustration is inevitable for any coach whose main enjoyment is winning.
Noll, Chuck
Inner wisdom is more important than wealth. The more you spend it, the more you gain.
Oprah Winfrey
He swallowed a lot of wisdom, but all of it seems to have gone down the wrong way.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.
Where sense is wanting, everything is wanting.
Franklin, Benjamin
Some men are wise, and some are otherwise.
Smollett, Tobias G.
Wisdom overcomes fortune.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)
Wisdom outweighs any wealth.
Sophocles
Wisdom is always an overmatch for strength.
Phaedrus
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
Wisdom hath her excesses, and no less need of moderation than folly.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
Timing, degree and conviction are the three wise men in this life.
Fitzhenry, R. I.
If you wish to know the road up the mountain, ask the man who goes back and forth on it.
Zenrin
As irrigators lead water where they want, as archers make their arrows straight, as carpenters carve wood, the wise shape their minds.
Buddha
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
Force without wisdom falls of its own weight.
Horace
More wisdom is latent in things as they are than in all the words men use.
Saint-Exupery, Antoine De
To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom.
Russell, Bertrand
If I don't have wisdom, I can teach you only ignorance.
Buscaglia, Leo
True wisdom lies in gathering the precious things out of each day as it goes by.
Bouton, E. S.
A single conversation across the table with a wise man is worth a month's study of books.
Proverb, Chinese
Does wisdom perhaps appear on the earth as a raven which is inspired by the smell of carrion?
Nietzsche, Friedrich
The beginning of wisdom is a definition of terms.
Socrates
To acquire knowledge, one must study; but to acquire wisdom, one must observe.
Marilyn vos Savant
A wise woman puts a grain of sugar into everything she says to a man, and takes a grain of salt with everything he says to her.
Rowland, Helen
By the time your life is finished, you will have learned just enough to begin it well.
Marx, Eleanor
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
A nation's treasure is its scholars.
Proverb, Yiddish
Wise care keeps what it has gained.
Proverb, Danish
The wisdom of a learned man comet by opportunity of leisure: and he that hath little business shall become wise. [Ecclesiasticus 38:25]
Bible
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
Wise are they who have learned these truths: Trouble is temporary. Time is a tonic. Tribulation is a test tube.
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.
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 comes by disillusionment.
Santayana, George
We can be knowledgeable with other men's knowledge, but we cannot be wise with other men's wisdom.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
Wisdom is the supreme part of happiness.
Sophocles
Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the wise. Seek what they sought.
Basho, Matsuo
It's the height of folly to want to be the only wise one.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
Wise people, even though all laws were abolished, would still lead the same life.
Aristophanes
Wisdom is better than weapons of war. [9:18b, Ecclesiastes]
Bible
What a wonderful world this would be if there were as many wise people as there are clever people.
