Best Quotes about Wisdom

Nine times out of ten it is over the Bridge of Sighs that we pass the narrow gulf from youth to manhood. That interval is usually marked by an ill placed or disappointed affection.

The mind profits by the wrecks of every passion, and we may measure our road to wisdom by the sorrows we have undergone.
Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.

The growth of wisdom may be gauged exactly by the diminution of ill temper.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

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

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

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

19.
Wisdom outweighs any wealth.
Sophocles

20.
As irrigators lead water where they want, as archers make their arrows straight, as carpenters carve wood, the wise shape their minds.
Buddha

21.
The wise have always said the same things, and fools, who are the majority have always done just the opposite.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

22.
Look at those they call unfortunate and at a closer view, you'll find many of them are unwise.
Young, Andrew

23.
Wisdom is always an overmatch for strength.
Phaedrus

24.
If I don't have wisdom, I can teach you only ignorance.
Buscaglia, Leo

25.
As it is the characteristic of great wits to say much in few words, so small wits seem to have the gift of speaking much and saying nothing.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

26.
Timing, degree and conviction are the three wise men in this life.
Fitzhenry, R. I.

27.
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

28.
A wise man thinks what is easy is difficult.
Collins, John Churton

One's first step in wisdom is to question everything - and one's last is to come to terms with everything.
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg

31.
Wise care keeps what it has gained.
Proverb, Danish

32.
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

33.
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

34.
Wisdom makes a slow defense against trouble, though a sure one in the end.
Goldsmith, Oliver

35.
No one over thirty-five is worth meeting who has not something to teach us, --something more than we could learn for ourselves, from a book.
Connolly, Cyril

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

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

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

Zenrin
