Wisdom Quotes

Good friends, how then are meditation and wisdom alike? They are like the lamp and the light it gives forth. If there is a lamp there is light; if there is no lamp there is no light. The lamp is the substance of light; the light is the function of the lamp. Thus, although they have two names, in substance they are not two. Meditation and wisdom are also like this Picture Quote #1

If one extends knowledge to the utmost, one will have wisdom. Having wisdom, one can then make choices Picture Quote #1

Therefore, I see whatever exists as good, death is to me like life, sin like holiness, wisdom like foolishness, everything has to be as it is, everything only requires my consent, only my willingness, my loving agreement, to be good for me, to do nothing but work for my benefit, to be unable to ever harm me Picture Quote #1

Wealth and wisdom are seldom combined, for the person who achieves one no longer desires the other Picture Quote #1

The charm of the words of great men, those grand sayings which are recognized as true as soon as heard, is this, that you recognize them as wisdom which has passed across your own mind. You feel that they are your own thoughts come back to you Picture Quote #1

To take no account of oneself, but always to think well and highly of others is the highest wisdom and perfection Picture Quote #1

Science must acknowledge truthfully how much it doesn’t know and leave room for mystery, miracles, and the wisdom of nature Picture Quote #1

Thoughts are an important part of your inner wisdom and they are very powerful. A thought held long enough and repeated often enough becomes a belief. A belief then becomes your biology Picture Quote #1

We can learn to trust ourselves by inquiring within. To practice doing this, sit quietly, close your eyes, and for a minute focus your attention on your breathing. Gently visualize your inner wisdom as a graceful butterfly. Admire her beauty, and encourage your butterfly to sit on your shoulder and whisper her wisdom in your ear. Be still and listen Picture Quote #1

The voice of wisdom is inherent within us and willing to guide us when we stop to listen. Of course, there are times when we feel we’ve been still as stone, and the still, small voice is still too quiet to hear. When this happens, the challenge is to practice quieting your mind anyway. Stopping and asking, quieting and listening, trusting and waiting. Waiting is difficult but worth the effort because a quiet, uncluttered mind is a natural antenna for whispers of wisdom from within Picture Quote #1

Wisdom is not book learning but, rather, a quality or state of knowing what is true or right coupled with the judgment to discern constructive action. Wisdom is the insight and intuition contained in the proverbial still, small voice that only a quiet mind can hear and know Picture Quote #1

Perfecting one’s intellect causes one to speak less, and those words spoken will be adorned with wisdom Picture Quote #1

Our life interferes, our mind, our thoughts. Meditating is not just a practice of asserting will and learning to control the mind, it is also developing control of one’s life and gaining wisdom Picture Quote #1

Our knowledge, experience, and wisdom can assist us in gaining more from this life, which will correctly set up our next life Picture Quote #1

I’ve always believed with age comes wisdom. And I find salt and pepper hair to be very attractive Picture Quote #1

Wisdom and joy arise when you learn to exist now rather than in the nonexistent past or future Picture Quote #1

The wisdom of nations lies in their proverbs, which are brief and pithy. Collect and learn them; they are notable measures of directions for human life; you have much in little; they save time in speaking; and upon occasion may be the fullest and safest answer Picture Quote #1

The wisdom of hindsight, so useful to historians and indeed to authors of memoirs, is sadly denied to practicing politicians Picture Quote #1

It may be an information age, but... It takes more work to earn more money to be overwhelmed by more information that does not equal knowledge or wisdom Picture Quote #1

School is an institution built on the axiom that learning is the result of teaching. And institutional wisdom continues to accept this axiom, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary Picture Quote #1

There are two statements about human beings that are true: that all human beings are alike, and that all are different. On those two facts all human wisdom is founded Picture Quote #1

Man has boyhood, adolescence, youth, middle age and senescence, as stages of growth; there are also corresponding stages in the growth of wisdom in him Picture Quote #1

The federal sentencing guidelines should be revised downward. By contrast to the guidelines, I can accept neither the necessity nor the wisdom of federal mandatory minimum sentences. In too many cases, mandatory minimum sentences are unwise and unjust Picture Quote #1

Accepting the gift may take the accumulated wisdom of some trodden miles, but it also opens the welcome windows of joy Picture Quote #1

All great art originates from the innocent child within us expressing itself through the wisdom, experience and skill of an adult Picture Quote #1

Short version: For the child..., it is not half so important to know as to feel. If facts are the seeds that later produce knowledge and wisdom, then the emotions and the impressions of the senses are the fertile soil in which the seeds must grow.... It is more important to pave the way for a child to want to know than to put him on a diet of facts that he is not ready to assimilate Picture Quote #1

Maturity is the art of living in peace with that which cannot be changed, the courage to change that which should be changed, no matter what it takes, and the wisdom to know the difference Picture Quote #1

Of all the pursuits open to men, the search for wisdom is most perfect, more sublime, more profitable, and more full of joy Picture Quote #1

The world of pure spirits stretches between the divine nature and the world of human beings; because divine wisdom has ordained that the higher should look after the lower, angels execute the divine plan for human salvation: they are our guardians, who free us when hindered and help to bring us home Picture Quote #1

Leadership means that a group, large or small, is willing to entrust authority to a person who has shown judgment, wisdom, personal appeal, and proven competence Picture Quote #1
