Wisdom is not attained by years, but by ability.
Plautus
Not by age but by capacity is wisdom acquired.
Plautus

John Keats
In life, all good things come hard, but wisdom is the hardest to come by.
Lucille Ball
But what is liberty without wisdom, and without virtue? It is the greatest of all possible evils; for it is folly, vice, and madness, without tuition or restraint.
Edmund Burke
Magnanimity in politics is not seldom the truest wisdom; and a great empire and little minds go ill together.
Edmund Burke

Though sages may pour out their wisdom's treasure, there is no sterner moralist than pleasure.
Lord Byron
To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom.
Bertrand Russell
Fear is the main source of superstition, and one of the main sources of cruelty. To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom.
Bertrand Russell
Both in thought and in feeling, even though time be real, to realise the unimportance of time is the gate of wisdom.
Bertrand Russell
He who is taught to live upon little owes more to his father's wisdom than he who has a great deal left him does to his father's care.
William Penn
The motto of chivalry is also the motto of wisdom; to serve all, but love only one.
Honore de Balzac
