Wisdom Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Wisdom

1.
The wisest man is he who does not fancy that he is so at all.
Boileau, Nicholas

2.
Follow then the shining ones, the wise, the awakened, the loving, for they know how to work and forbear.
Buddha

3.
Wise are they who have learned these truths: Trouble is temporary. Time is a tonic. Tribulation is a test tube.

4.
Suppose that we are wise enough to learn and know -- and yet not wise enough to control our learning and knowledge, so that we use it to destroy ourselves? Even if that is so, knowledge remains better than ignorance. It is better to know -- even if the knowledge endures only for the moment that comes before destruction -- than to gain eternal life at the price of a dull and swinish lack of comprehension of a universe that swirls unseen before us in all its wonder. That was the choice of Achilles, and it is mine, too.
Asimov, Isaac

5.
Wisdom is knowledge, rightly applied.

6.
The beginning of wisdom is to desire it.
Gabirol, Ibn

7.
The wise have always said the same things, and fools, who are the majority have always done just the opposite.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

8.
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

9.
Mixing one's wines may be a mistake, but old and new wisdom mix admirably.
Brecht, Bertolt

10.
Wise care keeps what it has gained.
Proverb, Danish

11.
Wisdom is what's left after we've run out of personal opinions.
Cullen Hightower

12.
We can be knowledgeable with other men's knowledge, but we cannot be wise with other men's wisdom.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

13.
Wisdom is better than weapons of war. [9:18b, Ecclesiastes]
Bible

14.
It's the height of folly to want to be the only wise one.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

15.
Who is the wisest man? He who neither knows or wishes for anything else than what happens.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

16.
Wisdom alone is the science of others sciences.
Plato

17.
The testimony of the Lord is sure making wise the simple. [Psalms 19:7]
Bible

18.
Wisdom doesn't necessarily come with age. Sometimes age just shows up all by itself.
Ziggy

19.
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

20.
They would need to be already wise, in order to love wisdom.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

21.
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

22.
Where sense is wanting, everything is wanting.
Franklin, Benjamin

23.
A word to the wise is not sufficient if it doesn't make sense.
Thurber, James

24.
Many people might have attained wisdom had they not assumed they already had it.

25.
Those who wish to appear wise among fools, among the wise seem foolish.
Quintilian

26.
To acquire knowledge, one must study; but to acquire wisdom, one must observe.
Marilyn vos Savant

27.
No matter how long he lives, no man ever becomes as wise as the average woman of forty-eight.
Mencken, H. L.

28.
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

29.
Understanding the limitations of human beings as well as understanding your own is the beginning of true wisdom.

30.
A wise man will see to it that his acts always seem voluntary and not done by compulsion, however much he may be compelled by necessity.
Machiavelli, Niccolo

31.
We have no words for speaking of wisdom to the stupid. He who understands the wise is wise already.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

32.
Wisdom outweighs any wealth.
Sophocles

33.
The man who questions opinions is wise. The man who quarrels with facts is a fool.
Garbutt, Frank

34.
Through wisdom is a house built; and by understanding it is established; and by knowledge shall every room be filled with precious and pleasant riches.
Bible

35.
The price of wisdom is eternal thought.
Birch, Frank

36.
In seeking wisdom thou art wise; in imagining that thou hast attained it, thou art a fool.
Azai, Rabbi Ben

37.
The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise. [Proverbs 15: 31]
Bible

38.
Wisdom is the reward you get for a lifetime of listening when you'd preferred to talk.
Larson, Doug

39.
Wisdom comes by disillusionment.
Santayana, George

40.
The wise man sees in the misfortune of others what he should avoid.
Aurelius, Marcus

41.
A wise man thinks what is easy is difficult.
Collins, John Churton

42.
Wise people, even though all laws were abolished, would still lead the same life.
Aristophanes

43.
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

44.
A life of frustration is inevitable for any coach whose main enjoyment is winning.
Noll, Chuck

45.
Wise people are foolish if they cannot adapt to foolish people.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

46.
He who exercises wisdom exercises the knowledge which is about God.
Epictetus

47.
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

48.
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

49.
Let us not take ourselves too seriously. None of us has a monopoly on wisdom.
Elizabeth, Queen

50.
Wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of your times.
Bible
