Without courage, wisdom bears no fruit.
Baltasar Gracian
The hunger for facile wisdom is the root of all false philosophy.
George Santayana
Wisdom comes by disillusionment.
George Santayana
A prudent question is one-half of wisdom.
Francis Bacon
Wisdom is not acquired save as the result of investigation.
Sara Teasdale
The wisdom of the wise and the experience of the ages are perpetuated by quotations.
Benjamin Disraeli
Where there is charity and wisdom, there is neither fear nor ignorance.
Francis of Assisi
There is a difference between happiness and wisdom: he that thinks himself the happiest man is really so; but he that thinks himself the wisest is generally the greatest fool.
Francis Bacon
There is a wisdom in this beyond the rules of physic: a man's own observation what he finds good of and what he finds hurt of is the best physic to preserve health.
Francis Bacon
Silence is the sleep that nourishes wisdom.
Francis Bacon
Wisdom allows nothing to be good that will not be so forever; no man to be happy but he that needs no other happiness than what he has within himself; no man to be great or powerful that is not master of himself.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca
Wisdom does not show itself so much in precept as in life - in firmness of mind and a mastery of appetite. It teaches us to do as well as to talk; and to make our words and actions all of a color.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca
Education makes us more stupid than the brutes. A thousand voices call to us on every hand, but our ears are stopped with wisdom.
Jean Giraudoux
Wisdom is oftentimes nearer when we stoop than when we soar.
William Wordsworth
If we continue to develop our technology without wisdom or prudence, our servant may prove to be our executioner.
Omar N. Bradley
Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers. It may not be difficult to store up in the mind a vast quantity of face within a comparatively short time, but the ability to form judgments requires the severe discipline of hard work and the tempering heat of experience and maturity.
Calvin Coolidge
God, give us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, courage to change the things which should be changed and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.
Reinhold Niebuhr
The final wisdom of life requires not the annulment of incongruity but the achievement of serenity within and above it.
Reinhold Niebuhr
It is wisdom in prosperity, when all is as thou wouldn't have it, to fear and suspect the worst.
Desiderius Erasmus
Wisdom is knowledge which has become a part of one's being.
Orison Swett Marden
