Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
We can be knowledgable with other men's knowledge but we cannot be wise with other men's wisdom.
Michel de Montaigne
The most certain sign of wisdom is cheerfulness.
Michel de Montaigne
The greatest obstacle to being heroic is the doubt whether one may not be going to prove one's self a fool; the truest heroism is to resist the doubt; and the profoundest wisdom, to know when it ought to be resisted, and when it be obeyed.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Wisdom consists not so much in knowing what to do in the ultimate as knowing what to do next.
Herbert Hoover
Wisdom oft times consists of knowing what to do next.
Herbert Hoover
Our wisdom comes from our experience, and our experience comes from our foolishness.
Sacha Guitry
Science is always discovering odd scraps of magical wisdom and making a tremendous fuss about its cleverness.
Aleister Crowley
It is astonishing with how little wisdom mankind can be governed, when that little wisdom is its own.
William Ralph Inge
Spending two years on my uncle's ranch in Montana as a young man gave me the wisdom and the thrust to do westerns.
Robert Duvall
We learn wisdom from failure much more than from success. We often discover what will do, by finding out what will not do; and probably he who never made a mistake never made a discovery.
Samuel Smiles
Practical wisdom is only to be learned in the school of experience. Precepts and instruction are useful so far as they go, but, without the discipline of real life, they remain of the nature of theory only.
Samuel Smiles
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.
Samuel Smiles
Wisdom and understanding can only become the possession of individual men by travelling the old road of observation, attention, perseverance, and industry.
Samuel Smiles
In complete darkness we are all the same, it is only our knowledge and wisdom that separates us, don't let your eyes deceive you.
Janet Jackson
Wisdom is not wisdom when it is derived from books alone.
Horace
Wisdom not only gets, but once got, retains.
Francis Quarles
I gave my beauty and my youth to men. I am going to give my wisdom and experience to animals.
Brigitte Bardot
Has fortune dealt you some bad cards. Then let wisdom make you a good gamester.
Francis Quarles
Wisdom begins at the end.
Daniel Webster
