Best Quotes about Wisdom

1.
Does wisdom perhaps appear on the earth as a raven which is inspired by the smell of carrion?
Nietzsche, Friedrich

2.
The end result of wisdom is... good deeds.
Talmud, The

3.
As irrigators lead water where they want, as archers make their arrows straight, as carpenters carve wood, the wise shape their minds.
Buddha

4.
Action should culminate in wisdom.
Bhagavad Gita

5.
Who is wise? One who learns from all.
Talmud, The

6.
It's so simple to be wise. Just think of something stupid to say and say the opposite.
Levenson, Samuel

7.
Wisdom is what's left after we've run out of personal opinions.
Cullen Hightower

8.
Wisdom is better than weapons of war. [9:18b, Ecclesiastes]
Bible

9.
The mistakes of the fool are known to the world, but not to himself. The mistakes of the wise man are known to himself, but not to the world.
Colton, Charles Caleb

10.
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

11.
A nation's treasure is its scholars.
Proverb, Yiddish

The beginning of wisdom is a definition of terms.
Socrates

13.
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

14.
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.

15.
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.
Wisdom is knowing when to speak your mind and when to mind your speech.
Evangel

17.
No man is wise enough by himself.
Titus Maccius Plautus

18.
The man who questions opinions is wise. The man who quarrels with facts is a fool.
Garbutt, Frank

19.
Inner wisdom is more important than wealth. The more you spend it, the more you gain.
Oprah Winfrey

20.
A single conversation across the table with a wise man is worth a month's study of books.
Proverb, Chinese

21.
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

22.
Wisdom outweighs any wealth.
Sophocles

23.
Wisdom we know is the knowledge of good and evil -- not the strength to choose between the two.
Cheever, John

24.
Wise men still seek Him today.
Bell, Dan

25.
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

26.
By others faults the wise correct their own.
Proverb

27.
We have no words for speaking of wisdom to the stupid. He who understands the wise is wise already.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

28.
Though wisdom cannot be gotten for gold, still less can be gotten without it.
Butler, Samuel

29.
The tigers of wrath are wiser than the horses of instruction.
Blake, William

30.
They would need to be already wise, in order to love wisdom.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

We can be knowledgeable with other men's knowledge, but we cannot be wise with other men's wisdom.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

32.
There is more wisdom in your body than in your deepest philosophy.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

33.
Some men are wise, and some are otherwise.
Smollett, Tobias G.

34.
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

35.
Keep me away from the wisdom which does not cry, the philosophy which does not laugh, and the greatness which does not bow before children.
Gibran, Kahlil

36.
Among mortals second thoughts are wisest.
Euripides

37.
It's the height of folly to want to be the only wise one.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

38.
The greatest scholars are not usually the wisest people.
Chaucer, Geoffrey

39.
It is great folly to wish to be wise all alone.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

40.
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

41.
Wisdom is learning what to overlook.
James, William

42.
Many people might have attained wisdom had they not assumed they already had it.

43.

Borland, Hal

46.
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

47.
Wisdom overcomes fortune.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)

48.
Without wisdom, knowledge is more stupid than ignorance.

49.
Wisdom is the power to put our time and our knowledge to the proper use.
Watson, Thomas J.

50.
It is not white hair that engenders wisdom.
Menander
