Wisdom

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

A man never reaches that dizzy height of wisdom that he can no longer be lead by the nose.
Twain, Mark

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

Hoffer, Eric

23.
Great men are the commissioned guides of mankind, who rule their fellows because they are wiser.
Carlyle, Thomas

24.
The foolish sayings of a rich man pass for wise ones.
Proverb, Spanish

25.
A wise man can see more from the bottom of a well than a fool can from a mountain top .

26.
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.

27.
Wisdom alone is the science of others sciences.
Plato

Everything I know I learned after I was thirty.
Clemenceau, Georges

Experiences are savings which a miser puts aside. Wisdom is an inheritance which a wastrel cannot exhaust.
Kraus, Karl
