Best Quotes about Wisdom

It is not wise to be wiser than necessary.
Quinault, Philippe

2.
Action should culminate in wisdom.
Bhagavad Gita

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

Raphael paints wisdom; Handel sings it, Phidias carves it, Shakespeare writes it, Wren builds it, Columbus sails it, Luther preaches it, Washington arms it, Watt mechanizes it.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

6.
The wise man says it cannot be done, but the fool goes and does it.

7.
Committing a great truth to memory is admirable; committing it to life is wisdom.
Ward, William A.

8.
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

9.
To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom.
Russell, Bertrand

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

14.
Wise men learn more from fools than fools from the wise.
Cato The Elder

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

16.
The greatest event for the world is the arrival of a new and wise person.
Carlyle, Thomas

17.
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

18.
Like an ability or a muscle, hearing your inner wisdom is strengthened by doing it.
Robbie Gass

Collins, John Churton

The foolish sayings of a rich man pass for wise ones.
Proverb, Spanish

23.
Force without wisdom falls of its own weight.
Horace

24.
The greatest wisdom is to realize one's lack of it
Stanislavisky, Konstantin

25.
Wisdom is not attained by years, but by ability.
Plautus, Titus Maccius

26.
A life of frustration is inevitable for any coach whose main enjoyment is winning.
Noll, Chuck

27.
Where sense is wanting, everything is wanting.
Franklin, Benjamin

28.

Chaucer, Geoffrey

29.
I have known it for a long time but I have only just experienced it. Now I know it not only with my intellect, but with my eyes, with my heart, with my stomach.
Hesse, Hermann

30.
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

31.
Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. [1 Corinthians 3:18-19]
Bible

32.
Not by age but by capacity is wisdom acquired.
Titus Maccius Plautus

33.
Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom; and with all your getting get understanding.
Bible

34.
The only one who is wiser than anyone is everyone.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

35.
Wisdom is like electricity. There is no permanently wise man, but men capable of wisdom, who, being put into certain company, or other favorable conditions, become wise for a short time, as glasses rubbed acquire electric power for a while.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

36.
Everything I know I learned after I was thirty.

Wisdom oft times consists of knowing what to do next.
Hoover, Herbert Clark

Wisdom is your perspective on life, your sense of balance, your understanding of how the various parts and principles apply and relate to each other. It embraces judgment, discernment, comprehension. It is a gestalt or oneness, and integrated wholeness.
Covey, Stephen R.

42.
If I don't have wisdom, I can teach you only ignorance.
Buscaglia, Leo

43.
Men are wise in proportion, not to their experience, but to their capacity for experience.
James Boswell

44.
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
