Wisdom Quotes (page 43)

I take the view that God, in his infinite wisdom, didn't bother to spring for two joints - heaven and hell. They're the same place, but heaven is when you get everything you want and you meet Mommy and Daddy and your best friends and you all have a hug and a kiss and play your harps. Hell is the same place - no fire and brimstone - but they just all pass by and don't see you. There's nothing, no recognition. You're waving, "It's me, your father," but you're invisible. You're on a cloud,... Keith Richards
Marion Zimmer Bradley quote: "To know you are ignorant is the beginning of wisdom."
To know you are ignorant is the beginning of wisdom. Marion Zimmer Bradley
O, mighty, divinely delimited wisdom of walls, boundaries! I is perhaps the most magnificent of all inventions. Man ceased to be a wild animal only when he build the first wall. Men ceased to be a wild man only when we built the Green Wall, only when, by means of that wall, we isolated our perfect machine world from the irrational, ugly world of trees, birds, and animals... Yevgeny Zamyatin

All false art, all vain wisdom, lasts its time but finally destroys itself, and its highest culture is also the epoch of its decay. Immanuel Kant
Paulo Coelho quote: "The path to wisdom is to be yourself. Stop "seeking"."
The path to wisdom is to be yourself. Stop "seeking". Paulo Coelho
Throughout history, religious leaders and other honorable men of conscience have always warned against this shaming confusion. They remind us that the poor have hearts, minds, humanity, and wisdom just like everyone else. When Hans Hansen sees a poor man he feels sorry for him. He would not necessarily assume that the man's a fool who's blown his chances or a drunk who's lost his will. Orhan Pamuk
Crafty men condemn studies; Simple men admire them; And wise men use them: For they teach not their own use: but that is a wisdom without them, and above them, won by observation. Francis Bacon
The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation. From the desperate city you go into the desperate country, and have to console yourself with the bravery of minks and muskrats. A stereotyped but unconscious despair is concealed even under what are called the games and amusements of mankind. There is no play in them, for this comes after work. But it is a characteristic of wisdom not to do desperate things. Henry David Thoreau
Margaret Mitchell quote: "Now you are beginning to think for yourself instead of letting..."
Now you are beginning to think for yourself instead of letting others think for you. That’s the beginning of wisdom. Margaret Mitchell

To you of great faith, I am the product of your wisdom and the guarantor of your immortality. Dean Koontz
Have you ever really had a teacher? One who saw you as a raw but precious thing, a jewel that, with wisdom, could be polished to a proud shine? Mitch Albom
Is there not. A tongue in every star that talks with man, And wooes him to be wise? nor wooes in vain; This dead of midnight is the noon of thought, And wisdom mounts her zenith with the stars. Anna Letitia Barbauld
