Best Quotes about Wisdom
Wisdom is always an overmatch for strength.
Phaedrus
Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. [1 Corinthians 3:18-19]
Bible
Wisdom hath her excesses, and no less need of moderation than folly.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
I have known it for a long time but I have only just experienced it. Now I know it not only with my intellect, but with my eyes, with my heart, with my stomach.
Hesse, Hermann
The price of wisdom is eternal thought.
Birch, Frank
Even though you know a thousand things, ask the man who knows one.
Proverb, Turkish
The beginning of wisdom is to desire it.
Gabirol, Ibn
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
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
Action should culminate in wisdom.
Bhagavad Gita
Wisdom we know is the knowledge of good and evil -- not the strength to choose between the two.
Cheever, John
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
As irrigators lead water where they want, as archers make their arrows straight, as carpenters carve wood, the wise shape their minds.
Buddha
One of the greatest pieces of economic wisdom is to know what you do not know.
Galbraith, John Kenneth
If you wish to know the road up the mountain, ask the man who goes back and forth on it.
Zenrin
True wisdom lies in gathering the precious things out of each day as it goes by.
Bouton, E. S.
The wise man sees in the misfortune of others what he should avoid.
Aurelius, Marcus
Understanding the limitations of human beings as well as understanding your own is the beginning of true wisdom.
He swallowed a lot of wisdom, but all of it seems to have gone down the wrong way.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.
The end result of wisdom is... good deeds.
Talmud, The
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
We can be knowledgeable with other men's knowledge, but we cannot be wise with other men's wisdom.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
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
Wisdom, compassion, and courage are the three universally recognized moral qualities of men.
Confucius
The tigers of wrath are wiser than the horses of instruction.
Blake, William
Wisdom is meaningless until our own experience has given it meaning.
Evans, Bergen
Without wisdom, knowledge is more stupid than ignorance.
Look at those they call unfortunate and at a closer view, you'll find many of them are unwise.
Young, Andrew
Wisdom alone is the science of others sciences.
Plato
Now all the knowledge and wisdom that is in creatures, whether angels or men, is nothing else but a participation of that one eternal, immutable and increased wisdom of God, or several signatures of that one archetypal seal, or like so many multiplied reflections of one and the same face, made in several glasses, whereof some are clearer, some obscurer, some standing nearer, some further off.
Cudworth, Ralph J.
The greatest wisdom is to realize one's lack of it
Stanislavisky, Konstantin
The wise have always said the same things, and fools, who are the majority have always done just the opposite.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
The man who questions opinions is wise. The man who quarrels with facts is a fool.
Garbutt, Frank
Who is the wisest man? He who neither knows or wishes for anything else than what happens.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
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's so simple to be wise. Just think of something stupid to say and say the opposite.
Levenson, Samuel
Committing a great truth to memory is admirable; committing it to life is wisdom.
Ward, William A.
The extreme limit of wisdom --that's what the public calls madness.
Cocteau, Jean
The doors of wisdom are never shut.
Franklin, Benjamin
The wise man says it cannot be done, but the fool goes and does it.
Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life.
Immanuel Kant
The fool who persists in his folly will become wise.
Blake, William
Wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of your times.
Bible
A wise man never knows all, only fools know everything
Proverb, African
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
Beauty is the wisdom of women. Wisdom is the beauty of men.
Proverb, Chinese
Wise care keeps what it has gained.
Proverb, Danish
Where sense is wanting, everything is wanting.
Franklin, Benjamin
Wisdom is not attained by years, but by ability.
Plautus, Titus Maccius
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
