The highest point of philosophy is to be both wise and simple; this is the angelic life.
John Chrysostom
Wise are those who learn that the bottom line doesn't always have to be their top priority.
William Arthur Ward
Wise are they who have learned these truths: Trouble is temporary. Time is tonic. Tribulation is a test tube.
William Arthur Ward
It is wise to direct your anger towards problems - not people; to focus your energies on answers - not excuses.
William Arthur Ward
We can learn much from wise words, little from wisecracks, and less from wise guys.
William Arthur Ward
Almost every wise saying has an opposite one, no less wise, to balance it.
George Santayana
In Greece wise men speak and fools decide.
George Santayana
A wise woman puts a grain of sugar into everything she says to a man, and takes a grain of salt with everything he says to her.
Helen Rowland
The mind that is wise mourns less for what age takes away; than what it leaves behind.
William Wordsworth
Love is the wisdom of the fool and the folly of the wise.
Samuel Johnson
Between falsehood and useless truth there is little difference. As gold which he cannot spend will make no man rich, so knowledge which cannot apply will make no man wise.
Samuel Johnson

Samuel Johnson
Let me smile with the wise, and feed with the rich.
Samuel Johnson
A wise man will make haste to forgive, because he knows the true value of time, and will not suffer it to pass away in unnecessary pain.
Samuel Johnson
It is best for the wise man not to seem wise.
Aeschylus
The one knowing what is profitable, and not the man knowing many things, is wise.
Aeschylus
I have always observed that to succeed in the world one should seem a fool, but be wise.
Charles de Montesquieu
It is a profitable thing, if one is wise, to seem foolish.
Aeschylus
For this is the mark of a wise and upright man, not to rail against the gods in misfortune.
Aeschylus
Search well and be wise, nor believe that self-willed pride will ever be better than good counsel.
Aeschylus
