Best Quotes about Wisdom
One's first step in wisdom is to question everything - and one's last is to come to terms with everything.
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
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
Understanding the limitations of human beings as well as understanding your own is the beginning of true wisdom.
It's so simple to be wise. Just think of something stupid to say and say the opposite.
Levenson, Samuel
Wise people, even though all laws were abolished, would still lead the same life.
Aristophanes
Among mortals second thoughts are wisest.
Euripides
True wisdom lies in gathering the precious things out of each day as it goes by.
Bouton, E. S.
Wisdom is your perspective on life, your sense of balance, your understanding of how the various parts and principles apply and relate to each other. It embraces judgment, discernment, comprehension. It is a gestalt or oneness, and integrated wholeness.
Covey, Stephen R.
No man is wise enough by himself.
Titus Maccius Plautus
Wise men learn more from fools than fools from the wise.
Cato The Elder
It is not white hair that engenders wisdom.
Menander
The man who questions opinions is wise. The man who quarrels with facts is a fool.
Garbutt, Frank
The wisest have the most authority.
Plato
Silence is the sleep that nourishes wisdom.
Bacon, Francis
The wisest man is he who does not fancy that he is so at all.
Boileau, Nicholas
Timing, degree and conviction are the three wise men in this life.
Fitzhenry, R. I.
Action should culminate in wisdom.
Bhagavad Gita
A word to the wise is not sufficient if it doesn't make sense.
Thurber, James
Wisdom is the supreme part of happiness.
Sophocles
What a wonderful world this would be if there were as many wise people as there are clever people.
Nine times out of ten it is over the Bridge of Sighs that we pass the narrow gulf from youth to manhood. That interval is usually marked by an ill placed or disappointed affection. We recover and we find ourselves a new being. The intellect has become hardened by the fire through which it has passed. The mind profits by the wrecks of every passion, and we may measure our road to wisdom by the sorrows we have undergone.
Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.
Wisdom is the reward you get for a lifetime of listening when you'd preferred to talk.
Larson, Doug
The wise man can pick up a grain of sand and envision a whole universe. But the stupid man will just lay down on some seaweed and roll around in it until he's completely draped in it. Then he'll stand up and go hey, I'm Vine Man.
Handey, Jack
The greatest event for the world is the arrival of a new and wise person.
Carlyle, Thomas
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
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
The experience gathered from books, though often valuable, is but the nature of learning; whereas the experience gained from actual life is one of the nature of wisdom.
Smiles, Samuel
The days that are still to come are the wisest witnesses.
Pindar
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
Wisdom makes a slow defense against trouble, though a sure one in the end.
Goldsmith, Oliver
We cannot advance without new experiments in living, but no wise man tries every day what he has proved wrong the day before.
Adams, James Truslow
Wisdom is knowing when to speak your mind and when to mind your speech.
Evangel
He swallowed a lot of wisdom, but all of it seems to have gone down the wrong way.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.
The mistakes of the fool are known to the world, but not to himself. The mistakes of the wise man are known to himself, but not to the world.
Colton, Charles Caleb
Though wisdom cannot be gotten for gold, still less can be gotten without it.
Butler, Samuel
Wisdom hath her excesses, and no less need of moderation than folly.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
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
As irrigators lead water where they want, as archers make their arrows straight, as carpenters carve wood, the wise shape their minds.
Buddha
The wise person has long ears and a short tongue.
Proverb, German
Wisdom is found only in truth.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Wise care keeps what it has gained.
Proverb, Danish
A wise man thinks what is easy is difficult.
Collins, John Churton
The beginning of wisdom is to desire it.
Gabirol, Ibn
Inner wisdom is more important than wealth. The more you spend it, the more you gain.
Oprah Winfrey
Mixing one's wines may be a mistake, but old and new wisdom mix admirably.
Brecht, Bertolt
It is not from reason that justice springs, but goodness is born of wisdom.
Maeterlinck, Maurice
The wise have always said the same things, and fools, who are the majority have always done just the opposite.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
Wise people are foolish if they cannot adapt to foolish people.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
Some folks are wise and some otherwise.
Billings, Josh
In seeking wisdom thou art wise; in imagining that thou hast attained it, thou art a fool.
Azai, Rabbi Ben
