Wisdom Quotes

Wisdom is not a question of learning facts with the mind; it can only be acquired through perfection of living Picture Quote #1

Wisdom is not a matter of study, but a matter of living, and of sure action which rises above opposites Picture Quote #1

A grandmother is a person with too much wisdom to let that stop her from making a fool of herself over her grandchildren Picture Quote #1

Life is so generous a giver but we, judging its gifts by their covering, cast them away as ugly or heavy or hard. Remove the covering and you will find beneath it a living splendor, woven of love, by wisdom, with power. Welcome it, grasp it, and you touch the angel’s hand that brings it to you. Everything we call a trial or a sorrow or a duty, believe me that angel’s hand is there, and the wonder of an overshadowing presence. Life is so full of meaning and purpose, so full of beauty beneath its covering, that you will find earth but cloaks your heaven. Courage then to claim, that is all Picture Quote #1

Our thoughts ought by instinct to fly upwards from animals, men and natural objects to their creator. If created things are so utterly lovely, how gloriously beautiful must he be who made them! The wisdom of the worker is revealed in his handiwork Picture Quote #1

Give thy mind to books and libraries, and the literature and lore of the ages will give thee the wisdom of sage and seer Picture Quote #1

As electricity is a great power in the world, so the inner mind is the greatest power available to you. Neither operates independently; both depend upon a separate agency to ignite them to action, and both bring helpful or harmful results according to the wisdom or ignorance with which they are directed Picture Quote #1

We are not to suppose, that there is any violent exertion of power, such as is required in order to produce a great event in little time; in nature, we find no deficiency in respect of time, nor any limitation with regard to power. But time is not made to flow in vain; nor does there ever appear the exertion of superfluous power, or the manifestation of design, not calculated in wisdom to effect some general end Picture Quote #1

When we trace the part of which this terrestrial system is composed, and when we view the general connection of those several parts, the whole presents a machine of a peculiar construction by which it is adapted to a certain end. We perceive a fabric, erected in wisdom, to obtain a purpose worthy of the power that is apparent in the production of it Picture Quote #1

Creativity is an area in which younger people have a tremendous advantage, since they have an endearing habit of always questioning past wisdom and authority Picture Quote #1

When people hear my daughter and when they know about her wisdom and maturity, they think that her father must have been sitting with her and mentoring her. They think he would have spent a lot of time in bringing her up. They think he would have constructed her Picture Quote #1

Wisdom comes from experience, but experience is not enough. Experience anticipated and experience revisited is the true source of wisdom Picture Quote #1

One must conclude that, contrary to the established and current wisdom, a scenario describing the genesis of life on earth by chance and natural causes which can be accepted on the basis of fact and not faith has not been written Picture Quote #1

When we learn to eat properly we begin to rebuild our bodies and to fulfill our purpose on this planet to grow in health, creativity, wisdom, and compassion Picture Quote #1

I think a lot of us are not on a path; we’re in a rut. We have confused comfort with peace, belief with faith, safety with wisdom, wealth with blessing, and existence with life Picture Quote #1

Ignorance is the beginning of knowledge; knowledge is the beginning of wisdom; wisdom is the awareness of ignorance Picture Quote #1

If we don’t love ourselves, we would not love others. When someone tell you to love others first, and to love others more than ourselves; it is impossible. If you can’t love yourselves, you can’t love anybody else. Therefore we must gather up our great power so that we know in what ways we are good, what special abilities we have, what wisdom, what kind of talent we have, and how big our love is. When we can recognize our virtues, we can learn how to love others Picture Quote #1

Learn the wisdom of compromise, for it is better to bend a little then to break Picture Quote #1

Mindfulness gives you time. Time gives you choices. Choices, skillfully made, lead to freedom. You don’t have to be swept away by your feeling. You can respond with wisdom and kindness rather than habit and reactivity Picture Quote #1

I love being my age. I love getting older. What you lose in looks, you gain in wisdom. I might not be as physically beautiful on the outside today, but I’m much more beautiful on the inside. True beauty comes from inside Picture Quote #1

Old age is an ordeal, of flesh and mind. Of winding down, of slowing down, of dying cells. It’s accepting the loss of physical attractiveness and replacing it with the power and wisdom that can only come with old age Picture Quote #1

Wisdom is partly innate and partly developed and practised. It’s about a lot more than just knowledge: experience, involvement, communication, interaction with people. Wisdom is a way of being Picture Quote #1

Wisdom can see the red, the rose, the stained and sculptured curve of grey, the charcoal scars of fire, and see around that living tower of tree the hermit tatters of old bark split down and strip to end the season; and can be quiet and not look for reasons past the edge of reason Picture Quote #1

We read to find out what the world is like, to experience lots of lives, not just the one we live. If it is true that our lives are chaotic and we crave a shape, stories are the shapes that we put on experience, containing all the wisdom in the world. We can even choose what kind of wisdom suits us Picture Quote #1

Life, sometimes so wearying is worth its weight in gold the experience of traveling lends a wisdom that is old Picture Quote #1

For a modern ruler the laws of conservation and transformation of energy, when the vivifing stream takes its source, the ways it wends its course in nature, and how, under wisdom and knowledge, it may be intertwined with human destiny, instead of careering headlong to the ocean, are a study at least as pregnant with consequences to life as any lesson taught by the long unscientific history of man Picture Quote #1

The true wisdom of the philosopher ought to insist in enjoying everything. Yet we apply ourselves to dissecting and destroying everything that is good in itself, that has virtue, albeit the virtue there is in mere illusions. Nature gives us this life like a toy to a weak child. We want to see how it all works; we break everything. There remains in our hands, and before our eyes, stupid and opened too late, the sterile wreckage, fragments that will not again make a whole. The good is so simple Picture Quote #1

Any teacher can study books, but books do not necessarily bring wisdom, nor that human insight essential to consummate teaching skills Picture Quote #1

It can be tempting to blame others for our loss of direction. We get lots of information about life but little education in life from parents, teachers, and other authority figures who should know better from their experience. Information is about facts. Education is about wisdom and the knowledge of how to love and survive Picture Quote #1

When we turn to our innate wisdom for the harmony of mind and gut, we heal the entrance to the heart as it seeks to beat in rhythm with the world Picture Quote #1
