Best Quotes about Wisdom
Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life.
Immanuel Kant
Silence is the sleep that nourishes wisdom.
Bacon, Francis
Wisdom is always an overmatch for strength.
Phaedrus
Great men are the commissioned guides of mankind, who rule their fellows because they are wiser.
Carlyle, Thomas
A wise man can see more from the bottom of a well than a fool can from a mountain top .
Force without wisdom falls of its own weight.
Horace
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 oft times consists of knowing what to do next.
Hoover, Herbert Clark
Wisdom is not attained by years, but by ability.
Plautus, Titus Maccius
The beginning of wisdom is a definition of terms.
Socrates
Even though you know a thousand things, ask the man who knows one.
Proverb, Turkish
Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the wise. Seek what they sought.
Basho, Matsuo
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
A word to the wise is not sufficient if it doesn't make sense.
Thurber, James
In seeking wisdom thou art wise; in imagining that thou hast attained it, thou art a fool.
Azai, Rabbi Ben
It is not wise to be wiser than necessary.
Quinault, Philippe
It is not white hair that engenders wisdom.
Menander
Experiences are savings which a miser puts aside. Wisdom is an inheritance which a wastrel cannot exhaust.
Kraus, Karl
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
Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. [1 Corinthians 3:18-19]
Bible
A wise man never knows all, only fools know everything
Proverb, African
One's first step in wisdom is to question everything - and one's last is to come to terms with everything.
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
No man is wise enough by himself.
Titus Maccius Plautus
Where there is charity and wisdom, there is neither fear nor ignorance. Where there is patience and humility, there is neither anger nor vexation. Where there is poverty and joy, there is neither greed nor avarice. Where there is peace and meditation, there is neither anxiety nor doubt.
Francis of Assisi, St.
The man who questions opinions is wise. The man who quarrels with facts is a fool.
Garbutt, Frank
To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom.
Russell, Bertrand
Wise people are foolish if they cannot adapt to foolish people.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
Wise men learn more from fools than fools from the wise.
Cato The Elder
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
Wisdom hath her excesses, and no less need of moderation than folly.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
One of the greatest pieces of economic wisdom is to know what you do not know.
Galbraith, John Kenneth
Inner wisdom is more important than wealth. The more you spend it, the more you gain.
Oprah Winfrey
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.
Machiavelli, Niccolo
More wisdom is latent in things as they are than in all the words men use.
Saint-Exupery, Antoine De
The wise man says it cannot be done, but the fool goes and does it.
True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves, and the world around us.
Socrates
Let us not take ourselves too seriously. None of us has a monopoly on wisdom.
Elizabeth, Queen
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
The only man I know who behaves sensibly is my tailor; he takes my measurements anew each time he sees me. The rest go on with their old measurements and expect me to fit them.
Shaw, George Bernard
Does wisdom perhaps appear on the earth as a raven which is inspired by the smell of carrion?
Nietzsche, Friedrich
The extreme limit of wisdom --that's what the public calls madness.
Cocteau, Jean
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.
Committing a great truth to memory is admirable; committing it to life is wisdom.
Ward, William A.
Keep me away from the wisdom which does not cry, the philosophy which does not laugh, and the greatness which does not bow before children.
Gibran, Kahlil
The only one who is wiser than anyone is everyone.
Bonaparte, Napoleon
The doors of wisdom are never shut.
Franklin, Benjamin
It is not from reason that justice springs, but goodness is born of wisdom.
Maeterlinck, Maurice
They would need to be already wise, in order to love wisdom.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
The heart of the wise man lies quiet like limpid water.
Proverb, Camerounian
He who exercises wisdom exercises the knowledge which is about God.
Epictetus
