Motivational Quotes
Wisdom
Where there is charity and wisdom, there is neither fear nor ignorance. Where there is patience and humility, there is neither anger nor vexation. Where there is poverty and joy, there is neither greed nor avarice. Where there is peace and meditation, there is neither anxiety nor doubt.
Best Quotes about Wisdom
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
A wise man thinks what is easy is difficult.
Collins, John Churton
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
It's the height of folly to want to be the only wise one.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
Wisdom is the supreme part of happiness.
Sophocles
To acquire knowledge, one must study; but to acquire wisdom, one must observe.
Marilyn vos Savant
If you wish to know the road up the mountain, ask the man who goes back and forth on it.
Zenrin
The wisest have the most authority.
Plato
Even though you know a thousand things, ask the man who knows one.
Proverb, Turkish
Wisdom overcomes fortune.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)
The only one who is wiser than anyone is everyone.
Bonaparte, Napoleon
He who exercises wisdom exercises the knowledge which is about God.
Epictetus
Wisdom, compassion, and courage are the three universally recognized moral qualities of men.
Confucius
It is great folly to wish to be wise all alone.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
Wisdom is meaningless until our own experience has given it meaning.
Evans, Bergen
Wisdom is better than weapons of war. [9:18b, Ecclesiastes]
Bible
A nation's treasure is its scholars.
Proverb, Yiddish
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
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
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
A man never reaches that dizzy height of wisdom that he can no longer be lead by the nose.
Twain, Mark
Does wisdom perhaps appear on the earth as a raven which is inspired by the smell of carrion?
Nietzsche, Friedrich
The wise man can pick up a grain of sand and envision a whole universe. But the stupid man will just lay down on some seaweed and roll around in it until he's completely draped in it. Then he'll stand up and go hey, I'm Vine Man.
Handey, Jack
As irrigators lead water where they want, as archers make their arrows straight, as carpenters carve wood, the wise shape their minds.
Buddha
By the time your life is finished, you will have learned just enough to begin it well.
Marx, Eleanor
The greatest event for the world is the arrival of a new and wise person.
Carlyle, Thomas
We have no words for speaking of wisdom to the stupid. He who understands the wise is wise already.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.
A life of frustration is inevitable for any coach whose main enjoyment is winning.
Noll, Chuck
There is more wisdom in your body than in your deepest philosophy.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom.
Russell, Bertrand
No man is wise enough by himself.
Titus Maccius Plautus
Who is the wisest man? He who neither knows or wishes for anything else than what happens.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
It is not wise to be wiser than necessary.
Quinault, Philippe
Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom; and with all your getting get understanding.
Bible
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
The wise man says it cannot be done, but the fool goes and does it.
The man who questions opinions is wise. The man who quarrels with facts is a fool.
Garbutt, Frank
One's first step in wisdom is to question everything - and one's last is to come to terms with everything.
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
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
The wise person has long ears and a short tongue.
Proverb, German
Who is a wise man? He who learns of all men.
Talmud, The
The beginning of wisdom is to desire it.
Gabirol, Ibn
Where there is charity and wisdom, there is neither fear nor ignorance. Where there is patience and humility, there is neither anger nor vexation. Where there is poverty and joy, there is neither greed nor avarice. Where there is peace and meditation, there is neither anxiety nor doubt.
Francis of Assisi, St.
Wisdom oft times consists of knowing what to do next.
Hoover, Herbert Clark
The extreme limit of wisdom --that's what the public calls madness.
Cocteau, Jean
Mixing one's wines may be a mistake, but old and new wisdom mix admirably.
Brecht, Bertolt
Inner wisdom is more important than wealth. The more you spend it, the more you gain.
Oprah Winfrey
The fool who persists in his folly will become wise.
Blake, William
There is a time when a man distinguishes the idea of felicity from the idea of wealth; it is the beginning of wisdom.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Action should culminate in wisdom.
Bhagavad Gita
