Motivational Quotes
Wisdom
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.

Best Quotes about Wisdom
Let us not take ourselves too seriously. None of us has a monopoly on wisdom.
Elizabeth, Queen
It is not from reason that justice springs, but goodness is born of wisdom.
Maeterlinck, Maurice
Wisdom is knowing when to speak your mind and when to mind your speech.
Evangel
The price of wisdom is eternal thought.
Birch, Frank
Wisdom is not attained by years, but by ability.
Plautus, Titus Maccius
The doors of wisdom are never shut.
Franklin, Benjamin
Wisdom comes by disillusionment.
Santayana, George
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
Follow then the shining ones, the wise, the awakened, the loving, for they know how to work and forbear.
Buddha
Beauty is the wisdom of women. Wisdom is the beauty of men.
Proverb, Chinese
The only thing that we know is that we know nothing and that is the highest flight of human wisdom.
Tolstoy, Count Leo
The wisest have the most authority.
Plato
Some folks are wise and some otherwise.
Billings, Josh
Understanding the limitations of human beings as well as understanding your own is the beginning of true wisdom.
Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the wise. Seek what they sought.
Basho, Matsuo
Wise men learn more from fools than fools from the wise.
Cato The Elder
Wisdom overcomes fortune.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)
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
The heart of the wise man lies quiet like limpid water.
Proverb, Camerounian
Wisdom is meaningless until our own experience has given it meaning.
Evans, Bergen
Just as a cautious businessman avoids investing all his capital in one concern, so wisdom would probably admonish us also not to anticipate all our happiness from one quarter alone.
Freud, Sigmund
Wise people are foolish if they cannot adapt to foolish people.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
By the time your life is finished, you will have learned just enough to begin it well.
Marx, Eleanor
There is more wisdom in your body than in your deepest philosophy.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
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
A wise man thinks what is easy is difficult.
Collins, John Churton
True wisdom lies in gathering the precious things out of each day as it goes by.
Bouton, E. S.
Wisdom makes a slow defense against trouble, though a sure one in the end.
Goldsmith, Oliver
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 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
Even though you know a thousand things, ask the man who knows one.
Proverb, Turkish
To acquire knowledge, one must study; but to acquire wisdom, one must observe.
Marilyn vos Savant
Wisdom, compassion, and courage are the three universally recognized moral qualities of men.
Confucius
Wisdom oft times consists of knowing what to do next.
Hoover, Herbert Clark
Wisdom we know is the knowledge of good and evil -- not the strength to choose between the two.
Cheever, John
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
The only one who is wiser than anyone is everyone.
Bonaparte, Napoleon
Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gains understanding, for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold. She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her. [Proverbs 3:13-15]
Bible
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
A life of frustration is inevitable for any coach whose main enjoyment is winning.
Noll, Chuck
Who is wise? One who learns from all.
Talmud, The
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.
Bacon, Francis
Wisdom not only gets, but once got, retains.
Quarles, Francis
A man never reaches that dizzy height of wisdom that he can no longer be lead by the nose.
Twain, Mark
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
No man is wise enough by himself.
Titus Maccius Plautus
Wisdom is the reward you get for a lifetime of listening when you'd preferred to talk.
Larson, Doug
Wisdom is better than weapons of war. [9:18b, Ecclesiastes]
Bible
Where sense is wanting, everything is wanting.
Franklin, Benjamin
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
