To that dauntless temper of his mind he hath a wisdom that doth guide his valor to act in safety (Wisdom Quotes)
See you now - your bait of falsehood takes this carp of truth, and thus do we of wisdom and of reach, with windlasses and with assays of bias, by indirections find directions out (Wisdom Quotes)
The novelist teaches the reader to comprehend the world as a question. There is wisdom and tolerance in that attitude. In a world built on sacrosanct certainties the novel is dead (Wisdom Quotes)
The stupidity of people comes from having an answer for everything. The wisdom of the novel comes from having a question for everything (Wisdom Quotes)
Books are but waste paper unless we spend in action the wisdom we get from thought - asleep. When we are weary of the living, we may repair to the dead, who have nothing of peevishness, pride, or design in their conversation (Wisdom Quotes)
Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. One can find it, live it, be fortified by it, do wonders through it, but one cannot communicate and teach it (Wisdom Quotes)
Experience - the wisdom that enables us to recognise in an undesirable old acquaintance the folly that we have already embraced (Wisdom Quotes)
We don't receive wisdom; we must discover it for ourselves after a journey that no one can take for us or spare us (Wisdom Quotes)
Keep me away from the wisdom which does not cry, the philosophy which does not laugh and the greatness which does not bow before children (Wisdom Quotes)
Pain and foolishness lead to great bliss and complete knowledge, for eternal wisdom created nothing under the sun in vain (Wisdom Quotes)
The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind (Wisdom Quotes)

However glorious an action in itself, it ought not to pass for great if it be not the effect of wisdom and intention (Wisdom Quotes)
Just as treasures are uncovered from the Earth, so virtue appears from good deeds, and wisdom appears from a pure and peaceful mind. To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue (Wisdom Quotes)
I don't think you can come into your wisdom until you have made mistakes on your own skin and felt them in reality of your own life (Wisdom Quotes)
Perhaps religious conscience upsets the designs of those who feel that the highest wisdom and authority comes from government. But from the beginning, this nation trusted in God, not man. Religious liberty is the first freedom in our Constitution (Wisdom Quotes)
Wisdom is the right use of knowledge. To know is not to be wise. Many men know a great deal, and are all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom (Wisdom Quotes)
