Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers. It may not be difficult to store up in the mind a vast quantity of face within a comparatively short time, but the ability to form judgments requires the severe discipline of hard work and the tempering heat of experience and maturity.

Coolidge, Calvin

19.

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.

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.

Proverb, African

24.

The heart of the wise man lies quiet like limpid water.

Proverb, Camerounian

25.

Good people are good because they've come to wisdom through failure. We get very little wisdom from success, you know.

Saroyan, William

26.

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

27.

Some men are wise, and some are otherwise.

Smollett, Tobias G.

28.

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

29.

The doors of wisdom are never shut.

Franklin, Benjamin

Not by age but by capacity is wisdom acquired.

Wisdom is not finally tested in the schools, Wisdom cannot be pass'd from one having it to another not having it, Wisdom is of the soul, is not susceptible of proof, is its own proof.

Walt Whitman

32.

It is not white hair that engenders wisdom.

Menander

33.

It is not wise to be wiser than necessary.

Quinault, Philippe

Committing a great truth to memory is admirable; committing it to life is wisdom.

Sophocles

40.

The extreme limit of wisdom --that's what the public calls madness.

Cocteau, Jean

41.

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

42.

The live in wisdom who see themselves in all and all in them, who have renounced every selfish desire and sense craving tormenting the heart.
