Best Quotes about Wisdom
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 wise man says it cannot be done, but the fool goes and does it.
By others faults the wise correct their own.
Proverb
It is not white hair that engenders wisdom.
Menander
A wise man can see more from the bottom of a well than a fool can from a mountain top .
One's first step in wisdom is to question everything - and one's last is to come to terms with everything.
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
Experiences are savings which a miser puts aside. Wisdom is an inheritance which a wastrel cannot exhaust.
Kraus, Karl
The days that are still to come are the wisest witnesses.
Pindar
They would need to be already wise, in order to love wisdom.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
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
Wisdom is learning what to overlook.
James, William
Those who wish to appear wise among fools, among the wise seem foolish.
Quintilian
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
Silence is the sleep that nourishes wisdom.
Bacon, Francis
Wisdom alone is the science of others sciences.
Plato
The Universe is one great kindergarten for man. Everything that exists has brought with it its own peculiar lesson. The mountain teaches stability and grandeur; the ocean immensity and change. Forests, lakes, and rivers, clouds and winds, stars and flowers, stupendous glaciers and crystal snowflakes, -- every form of animate or inanimate existence, leaves its impress upon the soul of man. Even the bee and ant have brought their little lessons of industry and economy.
Marden, Orison Swett
By the time your life is finished, you will have learned just enough to begin it well.
Marx, Eleanor
It is great folly to wish to be wise all alone.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
The extreme limit of wisdom --that's what the public calls madness.
Cocteau, Jean
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 better than weapons of war. [9:18b, Ecclesiastes]
Bible
A wise man never knows all, only fools know everything
Proverb, African
Wise men still seek Him today.
Bell, Dan
The wise man sees in the misfortune of others what he should avoid.
Aurelius, Marcus
Wisdom is the supreme part of happiness.
Sophocles
We can be knowledgeable with other men's knowledge, but we cannot be wise with other men's wisdom.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
One of the greatest pieces of economic wisdom is to know what you do not know.
Galbraith, John Kenneth
Wise care keeps what it has gained.
Proverb, Danish
It's the height of folly to want to be the only wise one.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
Like an ability or a muscle, hearing your inner wisdom is strengthened by doing it.
Robbie Gass
Timing, degree and conviction are the three wise men in this life.
Fitzhenry, R. I.
Wisdom outweighs any wealth.
Sophocles
Who is the wisest man? He who neither knows or wishes for anything else than what happens.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Where sense is wanting, everything is wanting.
Franklin, Benjamin
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
Wisdom not only gets, but once got, retains.
Quarles, Francis
Wisdom overcomes fortune.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)
The wisest have the most authority.
Plato
Everything I know I learned after I was thirty.
Clemenceau, Georges
The only one who is wiser than anyone is everyone.
Bonaparte, Napoleon
It is not from reason that justice springs, but goodness is born of wisdom.
Maeterlinck, Maurice
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
Good people are good because they've come to wisdom through failure. We get very little wisdom from success, you know.
Saroyan, William
Not by age but by capacity is wisdom acquired.
Titus Maccius Plautus
Wisdom is what's left after we've run out of personal opinions.
Cullen Hightower
More wisdom is latent in things as they are than in all the words men use.
Saint-Exupery, Antoine De
Wisdom hath her excesses, and no less need of moderation than folly.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
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.
Wisdom oft times consists of knowing what to do next.
Hoover, Herbert Clark
Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life.
Immanuel Kant
