Motivational Quotes
Wisdom
True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves, and the world around us.

Best Quotes about Wisdom
The only one who is wiser than anyone is everyone.
Bonaparte, Napoleon
By others faults the wise correct their own.
Proverb
Everything I know I learned after I was thirty.
Clemenceau, Georges
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
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
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
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
A single conversation across the table with a wise man is worth a month's study of books.
Proverb, Chinese
The beginning of wisdom is a definition of terms.
Socrates
A man never reaches that dizzy height of wisdom that he can no longer be lead by the nose.
Twain, Mark
Wisdom alone is the science of others sciences.
Plato
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.
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
The greatest event for the world is the arrival of a new and wise person.
Carlyle, Thomas
The fool who persists in his folly will become wise.
Blake, William
He who exercises wisdom exercises the knowledge which is about God.
Epictetus
Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life.
Immanuel Kant
The tigers of wrath are wiser than the horses of instruction.
Blake, William
Wisdom outweighs any wealth.
Sophocles
Committing a great truth to memory is admirable; committing it to life is wisdom.
Ward, William A.
Let us not take ourselves too seriously. None of us has a monopoly on wisdom.
Elizabeth, Queen
The man who questions opinions is wise. The man who quarrels with facts is a fool.
Garbutt, Frank
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
Wisdom not only gets, but once got, retains.
Quarles, Francis
The wise man says it cannot be done, but the fool goes and does it.
Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom; and with all your getting get understanding.
Bible
The wisest have the most authority.
Plato
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 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
By the time your life is finished, you will have learned just enough to begin it well.
Marx, Eleanor
The extreme limit of wisdom --that's what the public calls madness.
Cocteau, Jean
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
Wise people are foolish if they cannot adapt to foolish people.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
Like an ability or a muscle, hearing your inner wisdom is strengthened by doing it.
Robbie Gass
Wise are they who have learned these truths: Trouble is temporary. Time is a tonic. Tribulation is a test tube.
There is more wisdom in your body than in your deepest philosophy.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
Just as a cautious businessman avoids investing all his capital in one concern, so wisdom would probably admonish us also not to anticipate all our happiness from one quarter alone.
Freud, Sigmund
Though wisdom cannot be gotten for gold, still less can be gotten without it.
Butler, Samuel
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
We don't receive wisdom; we must discover it for ourselves after a journey that no one can take for us or spare us.
Marcel Proust
As irrigators lead water where they want, as archers make their arrows straight, as carpenters carve wood, the wise shape their minds.
Buddha
Wisdom is always an overmatch for strength.
Phaedrus
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
Wisdom is nothing more than healed pain.
Lee, Robert E.
Wisdom is like electricity. There is no permanently wise man, but men capable of wisdom, who, being put into certain company, or other favorable conditions, become wise for a short time, as glasses rubbed acquire electric power for a while.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
No man is wise enough by himself.
Titus Maccius Plautus
He swallowed a lot of wisdom, but all of it seems to have gone down the wrong way.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.
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
We have no words for speaking of wisdom to the stupid. He who understands the wise is wise already.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.
