Wisdom comes with the ability to be still. Just look and just listen. No more is needed. Being still, looking, and listening activates the non-conceptual intelligence within you. Let stillness direct your words and actions.
ECKHART TOLLE, Stillness Speaks
Knowledge is flour, but wisdom is bread.
AUSTIN O'MALLEY, Keystones of Thought
The difference between a wise and foolish man is this--the former sees much, thinks much, and speaks little; but the latter speaks more than he either sees or thinks.
WILLIAM SCOTT DOWNEY, Proverbs
Let men be wise by instinct if they can, but when this fails be wise by good advice.
SOPHOCLES, Antigone
An ignorant man is always able to say yes or no immediately to any proposition. To a wise man, comparatively few things can be propounded which do not require a response with qualifications, with discriminations, with proportion.
HORACE MANN, Thoughts
Wisdom is the daughter of experience.
LEONARDO DA VINCI, Thoughts on Art and Life
Wisdom is not communicable. The wisdom which a wise man tries to communicate always sounds foolish.... Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. One can find it, live it, do wonders through it, but one cannot communicate and teach it.
HERMANN HESSE, Siddhartha
There is a wisdom of the Head, and ... there is a wisdom of the Heart.
CHARLES DICKENS
Be very slow to believe that you are wiser than all others; it is a fatal but common error.
CHARLES CALEB COLTON, Lacon
Wisdom is the perception of the unimportance of the things we call great, and of the importance of the things we call small.
CHARLES EDWARD JERNINGHAM, The Maxims of Marmaduke
Like water in the desert is wisdom to the soul.
EDWARD COUNSEL, Maxims
The kind of man who always thinks that he is right, that his opinions, his pronouncements, are the final word, when once exposed shows nothing there. But a wise man has much to learn without a loss of dignity.
SOPHOCLES, Antigone
Memory is the mother of all wisdom.
AESCHYLUS, Prometheus Bound
Wisdom is a treasure, the key whereof is never lost.
EDWARD COUNSEL, Maxims
Wisdom comes only through suffering.
AESCHYLUS, Agamemnon
You may not have very much sense. But if you have enough to keep your mouth shut and look wise, it will not be long before you acquire a wide reputation as a fountain of Wisdom.
ROBERT ELLIOTT GONZALES, Poems and Paragraphs
Necessity teaches wisdom, while prosperity makes fools.
WELLINS CALCOTT, Thoughts Moral and Divine
Mixing one's wines may be a mistake, but old and new wisdom mix admirably.
BERTOLT BRECHT
To understand the actual world as it is, not as we should wish it to be, is the beginning of wisdom.
BERTRAND RUSSELL
There are many gates to the house of wisdom.
