Best Quotes about Wisdom

1.
Wisdom is knowledge, rightly applied.

2.
The extreme limit of wisdom --that's what the public calls madness.
Cocteau, Jean

Look at those they call unfortunate and at a closer view, you'll find many of them are unwise.
Young, Andrew

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

5.
The doors of wisdom are never shut.
Franklin, Benjamin

6.
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

7.
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

8.
In seeking wisdom thou art wise; in imagining that thou hast attained it, thou art a fool.
Azai, Rabbi Ben

9.
Wisdom hath her excesses, and no less need of moderation than folly.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

10.
Wise are they who have learned these truths: Trouble is temporary. Time is a tonic. Tribulation is a test tube.

11.
Experiences are savings which a miser puts aside. Wisdom is an inheritance which a wastrel cannot exhaust.
Kraus, Karl

12.
The testimony of the Lord is sure making wise the simple. [Psalms 19:7]
Bible

13.
Let us not take ourselves too seriously. None of us has a monopoly on wisdom.
Elizabeth, Queen

14.
Wisdom alone is the science of others sciences.
Plato

15.
The beginning of wisdom is to desire it.
Gabirol, Ibn

16.
Who is a wise man? He who learns of all men.
Talmud, The

17.
If I don't have wisdom, I can teach you only ignorance.
Buscaglia, Leo

18.
More wisdom is latent in things as they are than in all the words men use.
Saint-Exupery, Antoine De

19.
True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves, and the world around us.
Socrates

20.
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

Fitzhenry, R. I.

Oprah Winfrey

24.
A word to the wise is not sufficient if it doesn't make sense.
Thurber, James

25.
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

26.
We have no words for speaking of wisdom to the stupid. He who understands the wise is wise already.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

27.
To acquire knowledge, one must study; but to acquire wisdom, one must observe.
Marilyn vos Savant

28.
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

29.
Wisdom doesn't necessarily come with age. Sometimes age just shows up all by itself.
Ziggy

30.
It's the height of folly to want to be the only wise one.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

31.
Does wisdom perhaps appear on the earth as a raven which is inspired by the smell of carrion?
Nietzsche, Friedrich

32.
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

33.
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.

34.
The greatest wisdom is to realize one's lack of it
Stanislavisky, Konstantin

35.
Wisdom is the power to put our time and our knowledge to the proper use.
Watson, Thomas J.

36.
No matter how long he lives, no man ever becomes as wise as the average woman of forty-eight.
Mencken, H. L.

37.
Silence is the sleep that nourishes wisdom.
Bacon, Francis

38.
A single conversation across the table with a wise man is worth a month's study of books.
Proverb, Chinese

39.
There is more wisdom in your body than in your deepest philosophy.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

40.
There are three methods to gaining wisdom. The first is reflection, which is the highest. The second is limitation, which is the easiest. The third is experience, which is the bitterest.
Confucius

41.
Wise care keeps what it has gained.
Proverb, Danish

42.
Wise men still seek Him today.
Bell, Dan

43.
The days that are still to come are the wisest witnesses.
Pindar

44.
Not by age but by capacity is wisdom acquired.
Titus Maccius Plautus

45.
Understanding the limitations of human beings as well as understanding your own is the beginning of true wisdom.

46.
Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom; and with all your getting get understanding.
Bible

47.
It is not from reason that justice springs, but goodness is born of wisdom.
Maeterlinck, Maurice

48.
The experience gathered from books, though often valuable, is but the nature of learning; whereas the experience gained from actual life is one of the nature of wisdom.
Smiles, Samuel

49.
We cannot advance without new experiments in living, but no wise man tries every day what he has proved wrong the day before.
Adams, James Truslow

50.

Freud, Sigmund
