Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life.
Immanuel Kant

The only thing that we know is that we know nothing and that is the highest flight of human wisdom.
Tolstoy, Count Leo

3.
Wisdom is the supreme part of happiness.
Sophocles

Seneca

Even though you know a thousand things, ask the man who knows one.
Proverb, Turkish

The wise man sees in the misfortune of others what he should avoid.
Aurelius, Marcus

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

15.
Wisdom doesn't necessarily come with age. Sometimes age just shows up all by itself.
Ziggy

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

17.
Among mortals second thoughts are wisest.
Euripides

18.
The end result of wisdom is... good deeds.
Talmud, The

Where sense is wanting, everything is wanting.
Franklin, Benjamin

Talmud, The

Wisdom makes a slow defense against trouble, though a sure one in the end.
Goldsmith, Oliver

25.
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

A wise man never knows all, only fools know everything

The wise man can pick up a grain of sand and envision a whole universe. But the stupid man will just lay down on some seaweed and roll around in it until he's completely draped in it. Then he'll stand up and go hey, I'm Vine Man.
Handey, Jack

31.
True wisdom lies in gathering the precious things out of each day as it goes by.
Bouton, E. S.

32.
The extreme limit of wisdom --that's what the public calls madness.
Cocteau, Jean

Some folks are wise and some otherwise.
Billings, Josh

Proverb

35.
The beginning of wisdom is to desire it.
Gabirol, Ibn

There often seems to be a playfulness to wise people, as if either their equanimity has as its source this playfulness or the playfulness flows from the equanimity; and they can persuade other people who are in a state of agitation to calm down and manage a smile.
Hoagland, Edward

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

43.
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

44.
Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. [1 Corinthians 3:18-19]
Bible

The foolish sayings of a rich man pass for wise ones.
Proverb, Spanish

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.
