Best Quotes about Wisdom
Silence is the sleep that nourishes wisdom.
Bacon, Francis
The fool who persists in his folly will become wise.
Blake, William
Action should culminate in wisdom.
Bhagavad Gita
Wisdom is knowing when to speak your mind and when to mind your speech.
Evangel
If you wish to know the road up the mountain, ask the man who goes back and forth on it.
Zenrin
A single conversation across the table with a wise man is worth a month's study of books.
Proverb, Chinese
A man never reaches that dizzy height of wisdom that he can no longer be lead by the nose.
Twain, Mark
Who is the wisest man? He who neither knows or wishes for anything else than what happens.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
The wisdom of others remains dull till it is writ over with our own blood. We are essentially apart from the world; it bursts into our consciousness only when it sinks its teeth and nails into us.
Hoffer, Eric
Wisdom is what's left after we've run out of personal opinions.
Cullen Hightower
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
Well I am certainly wiser than this man. It is only too likely that neither of us has any knowledge to boast of; but he thinks that he knows something which he does not know, whereas I am quite conscious of my ignorance. At any rate it seems that I am wiser than he is to this small extent, that I do not think that I know what I do not know.
Socrates
The testimony of the Lord is sure making wise the simple. [Psalms 19:7]
Bible
Great men are the commissioned guides of mankind, who rule their fellows because they are wiser.
Carlyle, Thomas
Wisdom is perishable. Unlike information or knowledge, it cannot be stored in a computer or recorded in a book. It expires with each passing generation.
Taylor, Sid
Wise people, even though all laws were abolished, would still lead the same life.
Aristophanes
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
It's so simple to be wise. Just think of something stupid to say and say the opposite.
Levenson, Samuel
Wisdom alone is the science of others sciences.
Plato
Men are wise in proportion, not to their experience, but to their capacity for experience.
James Boswell
Wisdom is better than weapons of war. [9:18b, Ecclesiastes]
Bible
Those who wish to appear wise among fools, among the wise seem foolish.
Quintilian
Though wisdom cannot be gotten for gold, still less can be gotten without it.
Butler, Samuel
Without wisdom, knowledge is more stupid than ignorance.
A wise man never knows all, only fools know everything
Proverb, African
One's first step in wisdom is to question everything - and one's last is to come to terms with everything.
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
Follow then the shining ones, the wise, the awakened, the loving, for they know how to work and forbear.
Buddha
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 wise man says it cannot be done, but the fool goes and does it.
The greatest scholars are not usually the wisest people.
Chaucer, Geoffrey
Wisdom hath her excesses, and no less need of moderation than folly.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom; and with all your getting get understanding.
Bible
A nation's treasure is its scholars.
Proverb, Yiddish
It is great folly to wish to be wise all alone.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
Understanding the limitations of human beings as well as understanding your own is the beginning of true wisdom.
The doors of wisdom are never shut.
Franklin, Benjamin
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 nothing more than healed pain.
Lee, Robert E.
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
Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life.
Immanuel Kant
No matter how long he lives, no man ever becomes as wise as the average woman of forty-eight.
Mencken, H. L.
Wisdom outweighs any wealth.
Sophocles
Experiences are savings which a miser puts aside. Wisdom is an inheritance which a wastrel cannot exhaust.
Kraus, Karl
There often seems to be a playfulness to wise people, as if either their equanimity has as its source this playfulness or the playfulness flows from the equanimity; and they can persuade other people who are in a state of agitation to calm down and manage a smile.
Hoagland, Edward
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 wisest man is he who does not fancy that he is so at all.
Boileau, Nicholas
The heart of the wise man lies quiet like limpid water.
Proverb, Camerounian
Wisdom is the supreme part of happiness.
Sophocles
Everything I know I learned after I was thirty.
Clemenceau, Georges
Wisdom comes by disillusionment.
Santayana, George
