Quotes about wisdom One's
first step in wisdom is to question everything and one's last is to come to
terms with everything. By three
methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second,
by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the
bitterest. The
wisdom of life consists in the elimination of nonessentials. Humility
is the only true wisdom by which we prepare our minds for all the possible
changes of life. Every now
and again take a good look at something not made with hands, a mountain, a
star, the turn of a stream. There will come to you wisdom and patience and
solace and, above all, the assurance that you are not alone in the world.
The
plainest sign of wisdom is a continual cheerfulness: her state is like that
of things in the regions above the moon, always clear and serene. A chief
event of life is the day in which we have encountered a mind that startled
us. Never let
your sense of morals prevent you from doing what's right. Honesty
is the first chapter in the Book of wisdom. Let it be our endeavor to merit
the character of a just nation. The road
must be trod, but it will be very hard. And neither strength nor wisdom will
carry us far upon it. This quest may be attempted by the weak with as much
hope as the strong. Yet such is oft the course of deeds that move the wheels
of the world: small hands do them because they must, while the eyes of the
great are elsewhere. We judge
of man's wisdom by his hope. Logic is
the beginning of wisdom; not the end. Wisdom is
not a product of schooling but of the life-long attempt to acquire it.
To keep
your secret is wisdom; to expect others to keep it is folly. It takes
humility to seek feedback. It takes wisdom to understand it, analyze it, and
appropriately act on it. Age
doesn't always bring wisdom. Sometimes age comes alone. We
thought, because we had power, we had wisdom. To act
with common sense according to the moment, is the best wisdom I know and the
best philosophy is to do one's duties, take the world as it comes submit
respectfully to one's lot; bless the goodness that has given us so much
happiness with it, whatever it is; and despise affectation. The
biggest difficulty with mankind today is that our knowledge has increased so
much faster than our wisdom Truth
never plays false roles of any kind, which is why people are so surprised
when meeting it. Everyone must decide whether he wants the uncompromising
truth or a counterfeit version of truth. Real wisdom consists of
recommending the truth to yourself at every opportunity. Authority
without wisdom is like a heavy axe without an edge, fitter to bruise than
polish. A man
doesn't begin to attain wisdom until he recognizes that he is no longer
indispensable. All human
wisdom is summed up in two words - wait and hope. I see no
wisdom in saving up indignation for a rainy day.
Information isn't wisdom. Information isn't learning. If information were
learning, you could be educated by memorizing the world almanac. If you did
that, you wouldn't be educated. You'd be weird The
highest of wisdom is continual cheerfulness: such a state, like the region
above the moon, is always clear and serene.
