Best Quotes about Wisdom
Wisdom is knowledge, rightly applied.
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.
Wise people are foolish if they cannot adapt to foolish people.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
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
Not by age but by capacity is wisdom acquired.
Titus Maccius Plautus
Where sense is wanting, everything is wanting.
Franklin, Benjamin

Socrates
The growth of wisdom may be gauged exactly by the diminution of ill temper.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
No man is wise enough by himself.
Titus Maccius Plautus
Some men are wise, and some are otherwise.
Smollett, Tobias G.
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
The tigers of wrath are wiser than the horses of instruction.
Blake, William
A wise man can see more from the bottom of a well than a fool can from a mountain top .

James, William
Without wisdom, knowledge is more stupid than ignorance.
Who is a wise man? He who learns of all men.
Talmud, The
The wisdom of a learned man comet by opportunity of leisure: and he that hath little business shall become wise. [Ecclesiasticus 38:25]
Bible
Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the wise. Seek what they sought.
Basho, Matsuo
Wisdom overcomes fortune.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)
Wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of your times.
Bible
The wise have always said the same things, and fools, who are the majority have always done just the opposite.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
Wise care keeps what it has gained.
Proverb, Danish
Suppose that we are wise enough to learn and know -- and yet not wise enough to control our learning and knowledge, so that we use it to destroy ourselves? Even if that is so, knowledge remains better than ignorance. It is better to know -- even if the knowledge endures only for the moment that comes before destruction -- than to gain eternal life at the price of a dull and swinish lack of comprehension of a universe that swirls unseen before us in all its wonder. That was the choice of Achilles, and it is mine, too.
Asimov, Isaac
Wisdom comes by disillusionment.
Santayana, George
A wise man never knows all, only fools know everything
Proverb, African
In seeking wisdom thou art wise; in imagining that thou hast attained it, thou art a fool.
Azai, Rabbi Ben
To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom.
Russell, Bertrand
It's so simple to be wise. Just think of something stupid to say and say the opposite.
Levenson, Samuel
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.
Bhagavad Gita
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 end result of wisdom is... good deeds.
Talmud, The
The fool who persists in his folly will become wise.
Blake, William
The greatest event for the world is the arrival of a new and wise person.
Carlyle, Thomas
Who is the wisest man? He who neither knows or wishes for anything else than what happens.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
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
Wise men learn more from fools than fools from the wise.
Cato The Elder
True wisdom lies in gathering the precious things out of each day as it goes by.
