Best Quotes about Wisdom
A wise man thinks what is easy is difficult.
Collins, John Churton
Wisdom is nothing more than healed pain.
Lee, Robert E.
The wise person has long ears and a short tongue.
Proverb, German
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.
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
It is great folly to wish to be wise all alone.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
The greatest event for the world is the arrival of a new and wise person.
Carlyle, Thomas
A word to the wise is not sufficient if it doesn't make sense.
Thurber, James
The price of wisdom is eternal thought.
Birch, Frank
A single conversation across the table with a wise man is worth a month's study of books.
Proverb, Chinese
Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life.
Immanuel Kant
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 not attained by years, but by ability.
Plautus, Titus Maccius
Wisdom is knowledge, rightly applied.
Wisdom is always an overmatch for strength.
Phaedrus
By the time your life is finished, you will have learned just enough to begin it well.
Marx, Eleanor
Wise people are foolish if they cannot adapt to foolish people.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
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
It is not white hair that engenders wisdom.
Menander
Those who wish to appear wise among fools, among the wise seem foolish.
Quintilian
Wisdom oft times consists of knowing what to do next.
Hoover, Herbert Clark
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
Like an ability or a muscle, hearing your inner wisdom is strengthened by doing it.
Robbie Gass
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
It is not from reason that justice springs, but goodness is born of wisdom.
Maeterlinck, Maurice
One of the greatest pieces of economic wisdom is to know what you do not know.
Galbraith, John Kenneth
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
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
No man is wise enough by himself.
Titus Maccius Plautus
The only thing that we know is that we know nothing and that is the highest flight of human wisdom.
Tolstoy, Count Leo
Who is wise? One who learns from all.
Talmud, The
A wise man can see more from the bottom of a well than a fool can from a mountain top .
Even though you know a thousand things, ask the man who knows one.
Proverb, Turkish
Wisdom comes by disillusionment.
Santayana, George
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
A man never reaches that dizzy height of wisdom that he can no longer be lead by the nose.
Twain, Mark
There are three methods to gaining wisdom. The first is reflection, which is the highest. The second is limitation, which is the easiest. The third is experience, which is the bitterest.
Confucius
No matter how long he lives, no man ever becomes as wise as the average woman of forty-eight.
Mencken, H. L.
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
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
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
The extreme limit of wisdom --that's what the public calls madness.
Cocteau, Jean
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
The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise. [Proverbs 15: 31]
Bible
If you wish to know the road up the mountain, ask the man who goes back and forth on it.
Zenrin
Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom; and with all your getting get understanding.
Bible
Wisdom is found only in truth.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
He who exercises wisdom exercises the knowledge which is about God.
Epictetus
Good people are good because they've come to wisdom through failure. We get very little wisdom from success, you know.
Saroyan, William
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
