Motivational Quotes
Wisdom
The growth of wisdom may be gauged exactly by the diminution of ill temper.
Best Quotes about Wisdom
Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life.
Immanuel Kant
He swallowed a lot of wisdom, but all of it seems to have gone down the wrong way.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.
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
The wisest man is he who does not fancy that he is so at all.
Boileau, Nicholas
More wisdom is latent in things as they are than in all the words men use.
Saint-Exupery, Antoine De
It's so simple to be wise. Just think of something stupid to say and say the opposite.
Levenson, Samuel
Like an ability or a muscle, hearing your inner wisdom is strengthened by doing it.
Robbie Gass
Wisdom is nothing more than healed pain.
Lee, Robert E.
The days that are still to come are the wisest witnesses.
Pindar
A wise man thinks what is easy is difficult.
Collins, John Churton
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
Wise men learn more from fools than fools from the wise.
Cato The Elder
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
Now all the knowledge and wisdom that is in creatures, whether angels or men, is nothing else but a participation of that one eternal, immutable and increased wisdom of God, or several signatures of that one archetypal seal, or like so many multiplied reflections of one and the same face, made in several glasses, whereof some are clearer, some obscurer, some standing nearer, some further off.
Cudworth, Ralph J.
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
Wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of your times.
Bible
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
The only thing that we know is that we know nothing and that is the highest flight of human wisdom.
Tolstoy, Count Leo
We can be knowledgeable with other men's knowledge, but we cannot be wise with other men's wisdom.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
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
What a wonderful world this would be if there were as many wise people as there are clever people.
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
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
The fool who persists in his folly will become wise.
Blake, William
Look at those they call unfortunate and at a closer view, you'll find many of them are unwise.
Young, Andrew
The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise. [Proverbs 15: 31]
Bible
The wise have always said the same things, and fools, who are the majority have always done just the opposite.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
The testimony of the Lord is sure making wise the simple. [Psalms 19:7]
Bible
The wisest have the most authority.
Plato
Those who wish to appear wise among fools, among the wise seem foolish.
Quintilian
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
Wisdom is the supreme part of happiness.
Sophocles
To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom.
Russell, Bertrand
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
Wise people, even though all laws were abolished, would still lead the same life.
Aristophanes
Does wisdom perhaps appear on the earth as a raven which is inspired by the smell of carrion?
Nietzsche, Friedrich
True wisdom lies in gathering the precious things out of each day as it goes by.
Bouton, E. S.
No matter how long he lives, no man ever becomes as wise as the average woman of forty-eight.
Mencken, H. L.
Wise men still seek Him today.
Bell, Dan
Wisdom is not finally tested in the schools, Wisdom cannot be pass'd from one having it to another not having it, Wisdom is of the soul, is not susceptible of proof, is its own proof.
Walt Whitman
Wisdom, compassion, and courage are the three universally recognized moral qualities of men.
Confucius
Among mortals second thoughts are wisest.
Euripides
Wisdom not only gets, but once got, retains.
Quarles, Francis
The only one who is wiser than anyone is everyone.
Bonaparte, Napoleon
Experiences are savings which a miser puts aside. Wisdom is an inheritance which a wastrel cannot exhaust.
Kraus, Karl
Men are wise in proportion, not to their experience, but to their capacity for experience.
James Boswell
Wisdom is knowing when to speak your mind and when to mind your speech.
Evangel
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
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
Not by age but by capacity is wisdom acquired.
Titus Maccius Plautus
