Government is a contrivance of human wisdom to provide for human wants. People have the right to expect that these wants will be provided for by this wisdom.
Jimmy Carter
It's very hard to know what wisdom is.
James Hillman
It requires wisdom to understand wisdom: the music is nothing if the audience is deaf.
Walter Lippmann
At sixty, I know little more about wisdom than I did at thirty, but I know a great deal more about folly.
Mason Cooley
The wisdom of age: don't stop walking.
Mason Cooley
To think ill of mankind and not wish ill to them, is perhaps the highest wisdom and virtue.
William Hazlitt
The seat of knowledge is in the head; of wisdom, in the heart. We are sure to judge wrong, if we do not feel right.
William Hazlitt
Wisdom is knowing what to do next; virtue is doing it.
David Starr Jordan
Data is not information, information is not knowledge, knowledge is not understanding, understanding is not wisdom.
Clifford Stoll
He dares to be a fool, and that is the first step in the direction of wisdom.
James Huneker
Wisdom doesn't necessarily come with age. Sometimes age just shows up all by itself.
Tom Wilson
The beginning of wisdom is to desire it.
Solomon Ibn Gabirol
Novels are the Socratic dialogues of our time. Practical wisdom fled from school wisdom into this liberal form.
Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
Knowledge shrinks as wisdom grows.
Alfred North Whitehead
The result showed the wisdom of your orders.
John Bigelow
Wisdom alone is true ambition's aim, wisdom is the source of virtue and of fame; obtained with labour, for mankind employed, and then, when most you share it, best enjoyed.
Alfred North Whitehead
He whose wisdom cannot help him, gets no good from being wise.
Quintus Ennius
There is no pain equal to that which two lovers can inflict on one another. This should be made clear to all who contemplate such a union. The avoidance of this pain is the beginning of wisdom, for it is strong enough to contaminate the rest of our lives.
Cyril Connolly
Science gives us knowledge, but only philosophy can give us wisdom.
Will Durant
It is almost everywhere the case that soon after it is begotten the greater part of human wisdom is laid to rest in repositories.
Georg C. Lichtenberg
