Wisdom Quotes (page 31)

Give not thyself up, then, to fire, lest it invert thee, deaden thee, as for the time it did me. There is a wisdom that is woe; but there is a woe that is madness. Herman Melville
For the word "We" must never be spoken, save by one's choice and as a second thought. This word must never be placed first within man's soul, else it becomes a monster, the root of all the evils on earth, the root of man's torture by men, and of an unspeakable lie. The word "We" is as lime poured over men, which sets and hardens to stone, and crushes all beneath it, and that which is white and that which is black are lost equally in the grey of it. It is the word by which the depraved steal... Ayn Rand
Jean-Jacques Rousseau quote: "What wisdom can you find greater than kindness."
What wisdom can you find greater than kindness. Jean-Jacques Rousseau

What is wisdom? It is the skill to achieve the perfect means by the perfect ends Aiden Wilson Tozer
The ever-recurring law of necessity soon teaches a man to do what he does not like, so as to avert evils which he would dislike still more... this foresight, well or ill used, is the source of all the wisdom or the wretchedness of mankind. Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Antoine de Saint-Exupery quote: "If you succeed in judging yourself rightly, then you are..."
If you succeed in judging yourself rightly, then you are indeed a man of true wisdom. Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Ernest Hemingway quote: "No, that is the great fallacy: the wisdom of old men. They do..."
No, that is the great fallacy: the wisdom of old men. They do not grow wise. They grow careful. Ernest Hemingway
I believe that what we become depends on what our fathers teach us at odd moments, when they aren't trying to teach us. We are formed by little scraps of wisdom. Umberto Eco
What is sin? It is the glory of God not honored. The holiness of God not reverenced. The greatness of God not admired. The power of God not praised. The truth of God not sought. The wisdom of God not esteemed. The beauty of God not treasured. The goodness of God not savored. The faithfulness of God not trusted. The commandments of God not obeyed. The justice of God not respected. The wrath of God not feared. The grace of God not cherished. The presence of God not prized. The person of God not... John Piper
Heraclitus quote: "19 Wisdom is the oneness of mind that guides and permeated..."
19 Wisdom is the oneness of mind that guides and permeated all things. (translated by Brooks Haxton) Heraclitus
Our lives are not as limited as we think they are; the world is a wonderfully weird place; consensual reality is significantly flawed; no institution can be trusted, but love does work; all things are possible; and we all could be happy and fulfilled if we only had the guts to be truly free and the wisdom to shrink our egos and quit taking ourselves so damn seriously. Tom Robbins
Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power. If you realize that you have enough, you are truly rich. Lao Tzu
Gilbert K. Chesterton quote: "As it has been well expressed in the paradox of Poe, wisdom..."
As it has been well expressed in the paradox of Poe, wisdom should reckon on the unforeseen. Gilbert K. Chesterton
For all the tenure of humans on Earth, the night sky had been a companion and an inspiration. The stars were comforting. They seemed to demonstrate that the heavens were created for the benefit and instruction of humans. This pathetic conceit became the conventional wisdom worldwide. No culture was free of it. Some people found in the skies an aperture to the religious sensibility. Many were awestruck and humbled by the glory and scale of the cosmos. Others were stimulated to the most... Carl Sagan
For I perceived that man's estate is as a citadel: he may throw down the walls to gain what he calls freedom, but then nothing of him remains save a dismantled fortress, open to the stars. And then begins the anguish of not-being. Far better for him were it to achieve his truth in the homely smell of blazing vine shoots, or of the sheep he has to shear. Truth strikes deep, like a well. A gaze that wanders loses sight of God. And that wise man who, keeping his thoughts in hand, knows little... Antoine de Saint-Exupery
