Motivational Quotes
Wisdom
There is no wisdom save in truth. Truth is everlasting, but our ideas about truth are changeable. Only a little of the first fruits of wisdom, only a few fragments of the boundless heights, breadths and depths of truth, have I been able to gather.
Best Quotes about Wisdom
A single conversation across the table with a wise man is worth a month's study of books.
Proverb, Chinese
A life of frustration is inevitable for any coach whose main enjoyment is winning.
Noll, Chuck
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
The growth of wisdom may be gauged exactly by the diminution of ill temper.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
The beginning of wisdom is to desire it.
Gabirol, Ibn
Wise men learn more from fools than fools from the wise.
Cato The Elder
Wisdom is the power to put our time and our knowledge to the proper use.
Watson, Thomas J.
Wise men still seek Him today.
Bell, Dan
Some folks are wise and some otherwise.
Billings, Josh
Good people are good because they've come to wisdom through failure. We get very little wisdom from success, you know.
Saroyan, William
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
He who exercises wisdom exercises the knowledge which is about God.
Epictetus
Many people might have attained wisdom had they not assumed they already had it.
It is great folly to wish to be wise all alone.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
Force without wisdom falls of its own weight.
Horace
Wisdom alone is the science of others sciences.
Plato
It's the height of folly to want to be the only wise one.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
Mixing one's wines may be a mistake, but old and new wisdom mix admirably.
Brecht, Bertolt
Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the wise. Seek what they sought.
Basho, Matsuo
Wise people are foolish if they cannot adapt to foolish people.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
The only man I know who behaves sensibly is my tailor; he takes my measurements anew each time he sees me. The rest go on with their old measurements and expect me to fit them.
Shaw, George Bernard
Wisdom is knowledge, rightly applied.
Understanding the limitations of human beings as well as understanding your own is the beginning of true wisdom.
Wisdom, compassion, and courage are the three universally recognized moral qualities of men.
Confucius
Look at those they call unfortunate and at a closer view, you'll find many of them are unwise.
Young, Andrew
Wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of your times.
Bible
A wise man never knows all, only fools know everything
Proverb, African
Who is wise? One who learns from all.
Talmud, The
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
This is the highest wisdom that I own; freedom and life are earned by those alone who conquer them each day anew.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Men are wise in proportion, not to their experience, but to their capacity for experience.
James Boswell
Committing a great truth to memory is admirable; committing it to life is wisdom.
Ward, William A.
Though wisdom cannot be gotten for gold, still less can be gotten without it.
Butler, Samuel
Like an ability or a muscle, hearing your inner wisdom is strengthened by doing it.
Robbie Gass
Who is the wisest man? He who neither knows or wishes for anything else than what happens.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Experiences are savings which a miser puts aside. Wisdom is an inheritance which a wastrel cannot exhaust.
Kraus, Karl
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
Wisdom is better than weapons of war. [9:18b, Ecclesiastes]
Bible
Wisdom is not attained by years, but by ability.
Plautus, Titus Maccius
Those who wish to appear wise among fools, among the wise seem foolish.
Quintilian
Wisdom is the supreme part of happiness.
Sophocles
True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves, and the world around us.
Socrates
It's so simple to be wise. Just think of something stupid to say and say the opposite.
Levenson, Samuel
The live in wisdom who see themselves in all and all in them, who have renounced every selfish desire and sense craving tormenting the heart.
Bhagavad Gita
The wise man says it cannot be done, but the fool goes and does it.
The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise. [Proverbs 15: 31]
Bible
Wisdom is learning what to overlook.
James, William
A wise woman puts a grain of sugar into everything she says to a man, and takes a grain of salt with everything he says to her.
Rowland, Helen
We can be knowledgeable with other men's knowledge, but we cannot be wise with other men's wisdom.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
The wise have always said the same things, and fools, who are the majority have always done just the opposite.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
