Best Quotes about Wisdom

Wisdom is found only in truth.

Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

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. We recover and we find ourselves a new being. The intellect has become hardened by the fire through which it has passed. 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.

If you wish to know the road up the mountain, ask the man who goes back and forth on it.

Zenrin

Action should culminate in wisdom.

Bhagavad Gita

Wisdom is knowing when to speak your mind and when to mind your speech.

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.
