Wise Men Quotes

Speech was given to the ordinary sort of men, whereby to communicate their mind; but to wise men, whereby to conceal it Picture Quote #1

The next step may be fatal to us. Let us then act like wise men, calmly look around us and consider what is best to be done... Let associations and combinations be everywhere set up to consult and recover our just rights Picture Quote #1

The wise men understood that this natural world is only an image and a copy of paradise. The existence of this world is simply a guarantee that there exists a world that is perfect. God created the world so that, through its visible objects, men could understand his spiritual teachings and the marvels of his wisdom Picture Quote #1

I believe when I am in the mood that all nature is full of people whom we cannot see, and that some of these are ugly or grotesque, and some wicked or foolish, but very many beautiful beyond any one we have ever seen, and that these are not far away... the simple of all times and the wise men of ancient times have seen them and even spoken to them Picture Quote #1

Happiness itself is sufficient excuse. Beautiful things are right and true; so beautiful actions are those pleasing to the gods. Wise men have an inward sense of what is beautiful, and the highest wisdom is to trust this intuition and be guided by it. The answer to the last appeal of what is right lies within a man’s own breast. Trust thyself Picture Quote #1

The constitution, too, which was the result of our deliberation, is unquestionably the wisest ever yet presented to men Picture Quote #1

Good and wise men, in all ages, have embraced a very dissimilar theory. They have supposed that the deity, from the relations we stand in to himself and to each other, has constituted an eternal and immutable law, which is indispensably obligatory upon all mankind, prior to any human institution whatever. This is what is called the law of nature... Upon this law depend the natural rights of mankind Picture Quote #1

I am old, yet I look at wise men and see that I am very young. I look over those stars yonder, and into the myriads of the aspirant and ordered souls, and see I am a stranger and a youth and have yet my spurs to win. Too ridiculous are these airs of age Picture Quote #1

The book exists for us perchance which will explain our miracles and and reveal new ones. The at present unutterable things we may find somewhere uttered. These same questions that disturb and puzzle and confound us have in their turn occurred to all the wise men; not one has been omitted; and each has answered them, according to his ability, by his words and his life Picture Quote #1

For humble individuals like myself, there is one poor comfort, which is this, viz. That gout, unlike any other disease, kills more rich men than poor, more wise men than simple Picture Quote #1

All thinking beings have the same basic intellect. Therefore, all wise men share the same idea of perfection Picture Quote #1

Glorious men are the scorn of wise men, the admiration of fools, the idols of parasites, and the slaves of their own vaunts Picture Quote #1

Rich men are to bear the infirmities of the poor. Wise men are to bear the mistakes of the ignorant Picture Quote #1

To write well, express yourself like common people, but think like a wise man. Or, think as wise men do, but speak as the common people do Picture Quote #1

Oppression makes wise men mad; but the distemper is still the madness of the wise, which is better than the sobriety of fools Picture Quote #1

Wise men will apply their remedies to vices, not to names; to the causes of evil which are permanent, not the occasional organs by which they act, and the transitory modes in which they appear Picture Quote #1
