Best Quotes about Wisdom
The foolish sayings of a rich man pass for wise ones.
Proverb, Spanish
What is the price of experience? Do men buy it for a song? Or wisdom for a dance in the street? No, it is bought with the price of all the man hath, his house, his wife, his children.
Blake, William
Wisdom outweighs any wealth.
Sophocles
Wisdom is always an overmatch for strength.
Phaedrus
The beginning of wisdom is to desire it.
Gabirol, Ibn
Who is wise? One who learns from all.
Talmud, The
Among mortals second thoughts are wisest.
Euripides
It's the height of folly to want to be the only wise one.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
It is not wise to be wiser than necessary.
Quinault, Philippe
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.
Mixing one's wines may be a mistake, but old and new wisdom mix admirably.
Brecht, Bertolt
By others faults the wise correct their own.
Proverb
Who is a wise man? He who learns of all men.
Talmud, The
Wisdom is the supreme part of happiness.
Sophocles
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
Look at those they call unfortunate and at a closer view, you'll find many of them are unwise.
Young, Andrew
Without wisdom, knowledge is more stupid than ignorance.
There is more wisdom in your body than in your deepest philosophy.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
More wisdom is latent in things as they are than in all the words men use.
Saint-Exupery, Antoine De
Wisdom is found only in truth.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Wise men still seek Him today.
Bell, Dan
The end result of wisdom is... good deeds.
Talmud, The
Experiences are savings which a miser puts aside. Wisdom is an inheritance which a wastrel cannot exhaust.
Kraus, Karl
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
He who exercises wisdom exercises the knowledge which is about God.
Epictetus
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
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.
Luther, Martin
No matter how long he lives, no man ever becomes as wise as the average woman of forty-eight.
Mencken, H. L.
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
Wisdom is meaningless until our own experience has given it meaning.
Evans, Bergen
Wisdom doesn't necessarily come with age. Sometimes age just shows up all by itself.
Ziggy
Timing, degree and conviction are the three wise men in this life.
Fitzhenry, R. I.
The days that are still to come are the wisest witnesses.
Pindar
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
The wise person has long ears and a short tongue.
Proverb, German
When you move amidst the world of sense, free from attachment and aversion alike, there comes the peace in which all sorrows end, and you life in the wisdom of the Self.
Bhagavad Gita
No man is wise enough by himself.
Titus Maccius Plautus
As irrigators lead water where they want, as archers make their arrows straight, as carpenters carve wood, the wise shape their minds.
Buddha
Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gains understanding, for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold. She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her. [Proverbs 3:13-15]
Bible
Not by age but by capacity is wisdom acquired.
Titus Maccius Plautus
The wise man sees in the misfortune of others what he should avoid.
Aurelius, Marcus
Let us not take ourselves too seriously. None of us has a monopoly on wisdom.
Elizabeth, Queen
Wisdom oft times consists of knowing what to do next.
Hoover, Herbert Clark
Wisdom is nothing more than healed pain.
Lee, Robert E.
The fool who persists in his folly will become wise.
Blake, William
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
Many people might have attained wisdom had they not assumed they already had it.
Wisdom we know is the knowledge of good and evil -- not the strength to choose between the two.
Cheever, John
Inner wisdom is more important than wealth. The more you spend it, the more you gain.
Oprah Winfrey
Wisdom is better than weapons of war. [9:18b, Ecclesiastes]
Bible
