Best Quotes about Wisdom
Wisdom is not attained by years, but by ability.
Plautus, Titus Maccius
For it is not possible to join serpentine wisdom with columbine innocence, except men know exactly all the conditions of the serpent: his baseness and going upon his belly, his volubility and lubricity, his envy and sting, and the rest; that is, all forms and natures of evil: for without this, virtue lieth open and unfenced.
Bacon, Francis
Follow then the shining ones, the wise, the awakened, the loving, for they know how to work and forbear.
Buddha
The beginning of wisdom is to desire it.
Gabirol, Ibn
A word to the wise is not sufficient if it doesn't make sense.
Thurber, James
It is not white hair that engenders wisdom.
Menander
The foolish sayings of a rich man pass for wise ones.
Proverb, Spanish
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
Wisdom is knowledge, rightly applied.
The testimony of the Lord is sure making wise the simple. [Psalms 19:7]
Bible
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.
Bhagavad Gita
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
The end result of wisdom is... good deeds.
Talmud, The
Wisdom we know is the knowledge of good and evil -- not the strength to choose between the two.
Cheever, John
Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom; and with all your getting get understanding.
Bible
More wisdom is latent in things as they are than in all the words men use.
Saint-Exupery, Antoine De
Wisdom alone is the science of others sciences.
Plato
What a wonderful world this would be if there were as many wise people as there are clever people.
A man never reaches that dizzy height of wisdom that he can no longer be lead by the nose.
Twain, Mark
Action should culminate in wisdom.
Bhagavad Gita
What is the price of experience? Do men buy it for a song? Or wisdom for a dance in the street? No, it is bought with the price of all the man hath, his house, his wife, his children.
Blake, William
He who exercises wisdom exercises the knowledge which is about God.
Epictetus
There are three methods to gaining wisdom. The first is reflection, which is the highest. The second is limitation, which is the easiest. The third is experience, which is the bitterest.
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
Like an ability or a muscle, hearing your inner wisdom is strengthened by doing it.
Robbie Gass
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
There often seems to be a playfulness to wise people, as if either their equanimity has as its source this playfulness or the playfulness flows from the equanimity; and they can persuade other people who are in a state of agitation to calm down and manage a smile.
Hoagland, Edward
Wise people are foolish if they cannot adapt to foolish people.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
In seeking wisdom thou art wise; in imagining that thou hast attained it, thou art a fool.
Azai, Rabbi Ben
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 not only gets, but once got, retains.
Quarles, Francis
The fool who persists in his folly will become wise.
Blake, William
Wisdom is the power to put our time and our knowledge to the proper use.
Watson, Thomas J.
The wisest have the most authority.
Plato
Inner wisdom is more important than wealth. The more you spend it, the more you gain.
Oprah Winfrey
Committing a great truth to memory is admirable; committing it to life is wisdom.
Ward, William A.
Many people might have attained wisdom had they not assumed they already had it.
Wisdom is perishable. Unlike information or knowledge, it cannot be stored in a computer or recorded in a book. It expires with each passing generation.
Taylor, Sid
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
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
Everything I know I learned after I was thirty.
Clemenceau, Georges
Experiences are savings which a miser puts aside. Wisdom is an inheritance which a wastrel cannot exhaust.
Kraus, Karl
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
Society cannot exist unless a controlling power upon will and appetite be placed somewhere, and the less of it there is within, the more there must be without.
Edmund Burke
Wisdom is knowing when to speak your mind and when to mind your speech.
Evangel
Wisdom overcomes fortune.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)
The days that are still to come are the wisest witnesses.
Pindar
The wise man sees in the misfortune of others what he should avoid.
Aurelius, Marcus
Wisdom is meaningless until our own experience has given it meaning.
Evans, Bergen
The beginning of wisdom is a definition of terms.
Socrates
