Wisdom

The ultimate wisdom which deals with beginnings, remains locked in a seed. There it lies, the simplest fact of the universe and at the same time the one which calls faith rather than reason.
- Borland, Hal

Quinault, Philippe

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

Socrates

Emerson, Ralph Waldo

21.
Wisdom overcomes fortune.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)

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

23.
Look at those they call unfortunate and at a closer view, you'll find many of them are unwise.
Young, Andrew

24.
Does wisdom perhaps appear on the earth as a raven which is inspired by the smell of carrion?
Nietzsche, Friedrich

25.
It's so simple to be wise. Just think of something stupid to say and say the opposite.
Levenson, Samuel

26.
Wisdom alone is the science of others sciences.
Plato

Many people might have attained wisdom had they not assumed they already had it.

28.
The heart of the wise man lies quiet like limpid water.
Proverb, Camerounian

29.
The only thing that we know is that we know nothing and that is the highest flight of human wisdom.

Cudworth, Ralph J.

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.
