Jane Porter	Dr. Johnson has said that the chief glory of a country arises from its authors. But then that is only as they are oracles of wisdom; unless they teach virtue, they are more worthy of a halter than of the laurel.	103
James Newman	Words of wisdom are spoken by children at least as often as scientists.	103
H. L. Mencken	Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance.	104
Socrates	Be as you wish to seem.	104
Charles Spurgeon	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.	104
Francis Bacon	Silence is the sleep that nourishes wisdom.	104
John C. Maxwell	A man must be big enough to admit his mistakes, smart enough to profit from them, and strong enough to correct them.	104
John Wooden	It's the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen.	104
Napoleon Bonaparte	Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.	104
Swami Vivekananda	We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far.	104
Isaac Bashevis Singer	When you betray somebody else, you also betray yourself.	104
Amelia Earhart	Never interrupt someone doing what you said couldn't be done.	104
Anton Chekhov	Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice.	104
Calvin Coolidge	Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers. It may not be difficult to store up in the mind a vast quantity of facts within a comparatively short time, but the ability to form judgments requires the severe discipline of hard work and the tempering heat of experience and maturity.	104
Edward Everett Hale	Make it your habit not to be critical about small things.	104
Ellen Glasgow	What happens is not as important as how you react to what happens.	104
Jean de La Fontaine	Beware, so long as you live, of judging men by their outward appearance.	104
Kiana Tom	True wisdom listens more, talks less and can get along with all types of people.	104
Phil Jackson	Always keep an open mind and a compassionate heart.	104
Vincent Bugliosi	Just look at what is right in front of you. People don't do that. They see what they expect to see, what they want to see, what conventional wisdom tells them to see. They only hear the music and not the lyrics of human events.	104
Angela Ahrendts	Intuition is the wisdom formed by feeling and instinct - a gift of knowing without reasoning... Belief is ignited by hope and supported by facts and evidence - it builds alignment and creates confidence. Belief is what sets energy in motion and creates the success that breeds more success.	104
Bruce Lipton	Through consciousness, our minds have the power to change our planet and ourselves. It is time we heed the wisdom of the ancient indigenous people and channel our consciousness and spirit to tend the garden and not destroy it.	104
Charlie Pierce	If religion comes into the public square, it is as vulnerable as any other human institution to be pelted with produce. Ignorance does not become wisdom just because you gussy it up with the Gospels.	104
Henry Petroski	All conventional wisdom has an element of truth to it, but good design requires more than an element of truth - it requires an ensemble of correct assumptions and valid calculations.	104
J. Michael Straczynski	People spend too much time finding other people to blame, too much energy finding excuses for not being what they are capable of being, and not enough energy putting themselves on the line, growing out of the past, and getting on with their lives.	104
Jimmy Carr	After a gig I always head back to the hotel, remembering granny's words of wisdom. I cancel the late-night pizza and watch the Jonathan Ross show instead.	104
John Lubbock	A day of worry is more exhausting than a week of work.	104
Michael Eric Dyson	Hurricane Katrina overwhelmed levees and exploded the conventional wisdom about a shared American prosperity, exposing a group of people so poor they didn't have $50 for a bus ticket out of town. If we want to learn something from this disaster, the lesson ought to be: America's poor deserve better than this.	104
Parker Palmer	America's freedom of religion, and freedom from religion, offers every wisdom tradition an opportunity to address our soul-deep needs: Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, secular humanism, agnosticism and atheism among others.	104
Patricia Richardson	They see me as being this Super Mom on TV who also can more than handle a difficult husband, and they assume I'm going to be just full of wisdom as a mother and wife myself.	104
Paul Greengrass	Remembering is painful, it's difficult, but it can be inspiring and it can give wisdom.	104
Sacha Guitry	Our wisdom comes from our experience, and our experience comes from our foolishness.	104
Steve Albini	Doubt the conventional wisdom unless you can verify it with reason and experiment.	104
Akhenaton	True wisdom is less presuming than folly. The wise man doubteth often, and changeth his mind; the fool is obstinate, and doubteth not; he knoweth all things but his own ignorance.	104
Evelyn Underhill	Deliberately seek opportunities for kindness, sympathy, and patience.	104
Peter Blair Henry	Good economic policy requires not so much the bravado to implement drastic change as the strength and wisdom to make reasonable trade-offs over the many years it takes to transform a country's standard of living.	104
Richard V. Allen	This land, which we have watered with our tears and our blood, is now our mother country, and we are well satisfied to stay where wisdom abounds and gospel is free.	104
Solon	Rich people without wisdom and learning are but sheep with golden fleeces.	104
Edwin Markham	It is better to rust out than wear out.	104
Gustave Courbet	I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom; I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients.	104
James Gleick	Information is not knowledge, and knowledge is not wisdom. Reading - even browsing - an old book can yield sustenance denied by a database search. Patience is a virtue, gluttony a sin.	104
Randy Forbes	While many of us never knew Ronald Reagan personally, we felt close to him because we shared his lighthearted sense of humor, admired his uncommon virtue, and were moved by his remarkable wisdom.	104
Thomas Traherne	To think the world therefore a general Bedlam, or place of madmen, and oneself a physician, is the most necessary point of present wisdom: an important imagination, and the way to happiness.	104
Ameen Rihani	Experience is knowledge; but knowledge, when it is sought only as a material resource, is not always a blessing. Experience is wisdom; but wisdom, with those who lack vision, is not always power. Experience is tolerance; but tolerance, when it is induced by apathy, is not in the least a virtue.	104
Billy Ray Cyrus	I always prayed that God would give me the wisdom and the vision to do the things on this earth that I was supposed to do to express His life and love and His will.	104
David Puttnam	There's always a miasma of misinformation emerging from the higher education sector as to which are the 'best' courses to take. My advice would always be to ignore the perceived wisdom and look for the most reliable evidence on the ground.	104
Liz Carpenter	Instead of looking at life as a narrowing funnel, we can see it ever widening to choose the things we want to do, to take the wisdom we've learned and create something.	104
Alex Grey	Spiritual teachers and artists that have opened the eye of wisdom for the world, and visionary community builders, have influenced my work.	104
Mary Wilson Little	He who devotes sixteen hours a day to hard study may become at sixty as wise as he thought himself at twenty.	104
Joanna Southcott	If they can prove that I am wrong by that time, I will give it up to their wisdom, but not after to any one's judgment, till I see the end of another year; for the Lord will begin with a new century; and I will see what he will do, before I will hearken to any man's judgment.	104
James Huneker	He dares to be a fool, and that is the first step in the direction of wisdom.	104
Buddha	To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.	105
Walt Disney	The more you like yourself, the less you are like anyone else, which makes you unique.	105
Audrey Hepburn	For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.	105
Marcus Tullius Cicero	The higher we are placed, the more humbly we should walk.	105
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.	The young man knows the rules, but the old man knows the exceptions.	105

Anatole France	Irony is the gaiety of reflection and the joy of wisdom.	105
Don Shula	The superior man blames himself. The inferior man blames others.	105

Elisabeth Kubler-Ross	The opinion which other people have of you is their problem, not yours.	105
Herman Hesse	Wisdom is nothing but a preparation of the soul, a capacity, a secret art of thinking, feeling and breathing thoughts of unity at every moment of life.	105
Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel	Combine the extremes, and you will have the true center.	105
Keith Miller	Pain is the doorway to wisdom and to truth.	105
Logan Pearsall Smith	It takes a great man to give sound advice tactfully, but a greater to accept it graciously.	105
Lucretius	The fall of dropping water wears away the Stone.	105
Mary Kay Ash	Central banks don't have divine wisdom. They try to do the best analysis they can and must be prepared to stand or fall by the quality of that analysis.	105
Omar N. Bradley	If we continue to develop our technology without wisdom or prudence, our servant may prove to be our executioner.	105
Omar Sharif	He read his mind. He's a strange sort of man, isn't he? It's not just the advice and the wisdom that he has.	105
Phil Jackson	Wisdom is always an overmatch for strength.	105
Publilius Syrus	From the errors of others, a wise man corrects his own.	105
Rahul Gandhi	It doesn't matter how much wisdom you have. If you don't have position, you have nothing. That's the tragedy of India.	105
Thomas J. Watson	Wisdom is the power to put our time and our knowledge to the proper use.	105
Charlie Parker	Music is your own experience, your own thoughts, your wisdom. If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn. They teach you there's a boundary line to music. But, man, there's no boundary line to art.	105
David Brainerd	The all-seeing eye of God beheld our deplorable state; infinite pity touched the heart of the Father of mercies; and infinite wisdom laid the plan of our recovery.	105
Eric Alterman	As a parent and a citizen, I'll take a Bill Gates (or Warren Buffett) over Steve Jobs every time. If we must have billionaires, better they should ignore Jobs's example and instead embrace the morality and wisdom of the great industrialist-philanthropist Andrew Carnegie.	105
Esther Williams	The wisdom acquired with the passage of time is a useless gift unless you share it.	105
John Henry Newman	Let us act on what we have, since we have not what we wish.	105
Joseph Prince	As you walk in God's divine wisdom, you will surely begin to see a greater measure of victory and good success in your life.	105
Peter Jennings	I've always shied away from conventional wisdom, though I know the power of it.	105
Philip James Bailey	Kindness is wisdom.	105
Shakti Gawain	We all have within us a deep wisdom, but sometimes we don't know we have it.	105
A. C. Benson	People seldom refuse help, if one offers it in the right way.	105
Aubrey de Grey	The biggest handicap in research is an ability to think outside the box. The handicap is being encumbered by all the conventional wisdom in a given field.	105
Cass McCombs	Music is the marriage of the feelings of the living to the wisdom of the dead.	105
Cat Cora	Even when you have doubts, take that step. Take chances. Mistakes are never a failure - they can be turned into wisdom.	105
Drew Curtis	The 'wisdom of the crowds' is the most ridiculous statement I've heard in my life. Crowds are dumb.	105
Edward Levi	As an instrument for practical action, law is responsive to the wisdom of its time, which may be wrong, but it carries forward, sometimes in opposition to this wisdom or passion, a memory of received values.	105
John Woolman	I find that to be a fool as to worldly wisdom, and to commit my cause to God, not fearing to offend men, who take offence at the simplicity of truth, is the only way to remain unmoved at the sentiments of others.	105
Peter Hammill	I continue to believe, contrary to the given wisdom, that it's more interesting to have an album - or, indeed, an individual song - which has variety rather than homogeneity.	105
Thomas Reid	Every indication of wisdom, taken from the effect, is equally an indication of power to execute what wisdom planned.	105
Bruce Bueno de Mesquita	In order to predict effectively, we need to use science. And the reason that we need to use science is because then we can reproduce what we're doing; it's not just wisdom or guesswork. And if we can predict, then we can engineer the future.	105
Elizabeth Gaskell	Sometimes one likes foolish people for their folly, better than wise people for their wisdom.	105
Tim Jackson	The philosophical point is that our happiness and wellbeing is not based on incomes rising. This is not just the wisdom of sages but of ordinary people. Prosperity is more social and psychological: it's about identification, affiliation, participation in society and a sense of purpose.	105
John Thune	Because of my upbringing, I believe in things like limited government, fiscal responsibility and personal accountability. I believe in the wisdom of our founders and the sanctity of our Constitution.	105
Alex Grey	I acknowledge the privilege of being alive in a human body at this moment, endowed with senses, memories, emotions, thoughts, and the space of mind in its wisdom aspect.	105
Joseph Roux	Our experience is composed rather of illusions lost than of wisdom acquired.	105
John Florio	Wisdom sails with wind and time.	105
Jonathan Nolan	Look at anyone's bookcase at home, no matter how modest, and you're going to find a book that contains wisdom or ideas or a language that's at least a thousand years old. And the idea that humans have created a mechanism to time travel, to hurl ideas into the future, it sort of bookends. Books are a time machine.	105
Robert Bridges	Beauty, the eternal Spouse of the Wisdom of God and Angel of his Presence thru' all creation.	105
John Cheever	Wisdom we know is the knowledge of good and evil, not the strength to choose between the two.	105
Joseph Story	And it is no less true, that personal security and private property rest entirely upon the wisdom, the stability, and the integrity of the courts of justice.	105
Nelson Mandela	A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination.	106
Baruch Spinoza	Fear cannot be without hope nor hope without fear.	106
Carl Jung	Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.	106
Thomas A. Edison	Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.	106
Og Mandino	Always seek out the seed of triumph in every adversity.	106
Charlotte Bronte	A ruffled mind makes a restless pillow.	106
Daisaku Ikeda	History is filled with tragic examples of wars that result from diplomatic impasse. Whether in our local communities or in international relations, the skillful use of our communicative capacities to negotiate and resolve differences is the first evidence of human wisdom.	106
Emanuel Swedenborg	The Divine of the Lord in heaven is love, for the reason that love is receptive of all things of heaven, such as peace, intelligence, wisdom and happiness.	106
Eric Ries	You know how people always talk about how vision is the key to entrepreneurship and perseverance and really seeing what other people don't see? We can actually redeem a fair amount of that folk wisdom.	106
Henry Van Dyke	Look around for a place to sow a few seeds.	106
James Buchanan	To avoid entangling alliances has been a maxim of our policy ever since the days of Washington, and its wisdom no one will attempt to dispute.	106
Octavio Paz	Wisdom lies neither in fixity nor in change, but in the dialectic between the two. A constant coming and going: wisdom lies in the momentary.	106
Pietro Aretino	I keep my friends as misers do their treasure, because, of all the things granted us by wisdom, none is greater or better than friendship.	106
Venerable Bede	And I pray thee, loving Jesus, that as Thou hast graciously given me to drink in with delight the words of Thy knowledge, so Thou wouldst mercifully grant me to attain one day to Thee, the fountain of all wisdom and to appear forever before Thy face.	106
Alfred Austin	Public opinion is no more than this: what people think that other people think.	106
Donald Hall	Everything important always begins from something trivial.	106
Elena Kagan	I've led a school whose faculty and students examine and discuss and debate every aspect of our law and legal system. And what I've learned most is that no one has a monopoly on truth or wisdom. I've learned that we make progress by listening to each other, across every apparent political or ideological divide.	106
Kris Kristofferson	Never give up, which is the lesson I learned from boxing. As soon as you learn to never give up, you have to learn the power and wisdom of unconditional surrender, and that one doesn't cancel out the other; they just exist as contradictions. The wisdom of it comes as you get older.	106
Pratibha Patil	India is known for its sobriety and wisdom, balanced and sensible thinking. We need strong institutions and we need good governance in the country.	106
Richard Whately	It is the neglect of timely repair that makes rebuilding necessary.	106
Robert Dale Owen	Wisdom, prudence, forethought, these are essential. But not second to these that noble courage which adventures the right, and leaves the consequences to God.	106
Robert W. Service	A promise made is a debt unpaid.	106
Theodore Dreiser	In order to have wisdom we must have ignorance.	106
Tom Hopkins	Repeat anything often enough and it will start to become you.	106
George Allen, Sr.	Each of us has been put on earth with the ability to do something well. We cheat ourselves and the world if we don't use that ability as best we can.	106
Knut Hamsun	However, I must not indulge in homespun wisdom here before so distinguished an assembly, especially as I am to be followed by a representative of science.	106
Rachel Dratch	I have no wisdom to share on dating.	106
Shinichi Suzuki	What is man's ultimate direction in life? It is to look for love, truth, virtue, and beauty.	106
Stephen Vincent Benet	We thought, because we had power, we had wisdom.	106
William Samuel Johnson	To keep your secret is wisdom; to expect others to keep it is folly.	106
Chad Harbach	You know, it's sort of common wisdom among New York publishers that short story collections don't make money.	106
David Limbaugh	Analysts may be correct that the presidential election won't primarily turn on entitlements reform, but by choosing Paul Ryan as his running mate, Mitt Romney can, contrary to conventional wisdom, make it a winning issue and lay the foundation for a reform mandate when he wins.	106
Elizabeth Hardwick	Books give not wisdom where none was before. But where some is, there reading makes it more.	106
Gertrude Jekyll	In garden arrangement, as in all other kinds of decorative work, one has not only to acquire a knowledge of what to do, but also to gain some wisdom in perceiving what it is well to let alone.	106
Pope Theodoros II	We don't pray for the land. We pray for the humans, all humans... starting with the president, Mohammed Morsi, and all officials, and for God to give everyone wisdom and responsibility to manage the affairs of this country and its people in true Egyptian spirit.	106
Ameen Rihani	Only a well-rounded intellect, a spirit nourished in the eternal sources of intelligence and culture, of justice and wisdom, is a safeguard against both indifference and skepticism.	106

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe	The way you see people is the way you treat them, and the way you treat them is what they become.	107
Thomas Paine	A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong gives it a superficial appearance of being right.	107
Alfred Lord Tennyson	Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers.	107
Euripides	Silence is true wisdom's best reply.	107
Sophocles	Wisdom outweighs any wealth.	107
Bernie Siegel	Being a survivor doesn't mean being strong - it's telling people when you need a meal or a ride, company, whatever. It's paying attention to heart wisdom, feelings, not living a role, but having a unique, authentic life, having something to contribute, finding time to love and laugh. All these things are qualities of survivors.	107
Bodhidharma	Not engaging in ignorance is wisdom.	107
Constantin Stanislavski	The greatest wisdom is to realize one's lack of it.	107
Dan Rather	Don't taunt the alligator until after you've crossed the creek.	107
Ella Wheeler Wilcox	The truest greatness lies in being kind, the truest wisdom in a happy mind.	107
Guy Finley	Eventually, we reach the point where we start to realize that we are not going to find peace, contentment, happiness, strength, fearlessness - all of the things that in our heart of hearts we wish we had - outside of us.	107
Joseph Smith, Jr.	The best way to obtain truth and wisdom is not to ask from books, but to go to God in prayer, and obtain divine teaching.	107

Sammy Davis, Jr.	You always have two choices: your commitment versus your fear.	107
Samuel Smiles	The experience gathered from books, though often valuable, is but the nature of learning; whereas the experience gained from actual life is one of the nature of wisdom.	107
Thomas Babington Macaulay	Few of the many wise apothegms which have been uttered have prevented a single foolish action.	107
Walter Benjamin	The art of storytelling is reaching its end because the epic side of truth, wisdom, is dying out.	107
Gabriel Marcel	Contemplation and wisdom are highest achievements and man is not totally at home with them.	107
Greg Walden	A man of strength and wisdom, John Paul became an inspiration to generations of both Catholics and non-Catholics throughout the world by encouraging freedom, promoting peace and respecting all faiths.	107
Juvenal	Never does nature say one thing and wisdom another.	107
Elizabeth George	Writing is no dying art form in America because most published writers here accept the wisdom and the necessity of encouraging the talent that follows in their footsteps.	107
Ray LaMontagne	I probably wouldn't be a songwriter if I didn't grow up the way I did. It was difficult and it was at times very scary to grow up in a household so unsettled and at times very violent. But, it also, I guess it earned me a sort of wisdom at a young age that's served me well.	107
Sam Mendes	The perceived wisdom is that people do not go in large numbers to black-and-white movies anymore - which is a great shame, but I'd love to make a black-and-white movie one day.	107
Martin Farquhar Tupper	Memory is not wisdom; idiots can by rote repeat volumes. Yet what is wisdom without memory?	107
Radhanath Swami	We can't really digest food unless there's hunger. So we can't really assimilate spiritual wisdom unless we feel the need for it.	107
John C. McGinley	The conventional wisdom with David Mamet is, you do not change a word. And that agrees with me. If you want to change any of David's words, it's like wanting to change the iambic pentameter in Shakespeare - you should do something else.	107
Maria Bartiromo	I'm not a money manager, but I can tell you what the conventional wisdom is. The younger you are, the more risk you can take on.	107
Roone Arledge	The current wisdom now is that if the three networks are covering the news the same way the difference is the anchor people. I think that won't be true in the future.	107
Richard Cecil	Wisdom prepares for the worst, but folly leaves the worst for the day when it comes.	107
Lao Tzu	I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures.	108
H. Jackson Brown, Jr.	Think big thoughts but relish small pleasures.	108
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe	This is the highest wisdom that I own; freedom and life are earned by those alone who conquer them each day anew.	108
Joseph Campbell	Your sacred space is where you can find yourself again and again.	108
Napoleon Bonaparte	If you want a thing done well, do it yourself.	108
William James	The art of being wise is the art of knowing what to overlook.	108
Aesop	Appearances are often deceiving.	108
John Keats	I will give you a definition of a proud man: he is a man who has neither vanity nor wisdom one filled with hatreds cannot be vain, neither can he be wise.	108
Oprah Winfrey	Follow your instincts. That's where true wisdom manifests itself.	108
Sophocles	Quick decisions are unsafe decisions.	108
Arthur Conan Doyle	It has long been an axiom of mine that the little things are infinitely the most important.	108
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross	I believe that we are solely responsible for our choices, and we have to accept the consequences of every deed, word, and thought throughout our lifetime.	108
Erik Erikson	When we looked at the life cycle in our 40s, we looked to old people for wisdom. At 80, though, we look at other 80-year-olds to see who got wise and who not. Lots of old people don't get wise, but you don't get wise unless you age.	108
Herman Hesse	The marvel of the Bhagavad-Gita is its truly beautiful revelation of life's wisdom which enables philosophy to blossom into religion.	108
Karen DeCrow	The censors have always had a field day with James Joyce, specifically with 'Ulysses,' but also with his other writings. The conventional wisdom is that this is because of sexually explicit passages (and there certainly are those). I have always thought that what the critics hated and feared about Joyce is his cry for human freedom.	108
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi	The philosophy of life is this: Life is not a struggle, not a tension... Life is bliss. It is eternal wisdom, eternal existence.	108
Octavio Paz	Wisdom lies neither in fixity nor in change, but in the dialectic between the two.	108
Origen	But the Wisdom of God, which is His only-begotten Son, being in all respects incapable of change or alteration, and every good quality in Him being essential, and such as cannot be changed and converted, His glory is therefore declared to be pure and sincere.	108
Orson Pratt	If God had sufficient wisdom and power to construct such a beautiful world as this, then we must admit that his wisdom and power are immeasurably greater than that of man, and hence he is qualified to reign as king.	108
Paul Klee	Children also have artistic ability, and there is wisdom in there having it! The more helpless they are, the more instructive are the examples they furnish us; and they must be preserved free of corruption from an early age.	108
Ram Dass	Each of us finds his unique vehicle for sharing with others his bit of wisdom.	108
Robert H. Schuller	Spectacular achievement is always preceded by unspectacular preparation.	108
Rollo May	If you do not express your own original ideas, if you do not listen to your own being, you will have betrayed yourself.	108
Theodore Isaac Rubin	Kindness is more important than wisdom, and the recognition of this is the beginning of wisdom.	108
Wilhelm von Humboldt	However great an evil immorality may be, we must not forget that it is not without its beneficial consequences. It is only through extremes that men can arrive at the middle path of wisdom and virtue.	108
William J. Clinton	Strength and wisdom are not opposing values.	108
Xi Jinping	During the long process of history, by relying on our own diligence, courage and wisdom, Chinese people have opened up a good and beautiful home where all ethnic groups live in harmony and fostered an excellent culture that never fades.	108
Chris Christie	I believe we have become paralyzed, paralyzed by our desire to be loved. Now our founding fathers had the wisdom to know that social acceptance and popularity were fleeing, and that this country's principles needed to be rooted in strengths greater than the passions and the emotions of the times.	108
Lapo Elkann	I love Winston Churchill. I love the wisdom he had, the sagacity. I like people who are independent-minded. People who aren't part of clans or systems, who are talented and free, and able to do things without being corrupted by the system.	108
Laura Marling	I feel increasingly like age is very irrelevant. Quite often, cynicism is confused with wisdom, and my scorn is confused with a knowing, which I don't have.	108
Laurie Colwin	No one who cooks, cooks alone. Even at her most solitary, a cook in the kitchen is surrounded by generations of cooks past, the advice and menus of cooks present, and the wisdom of cookbook writers.	108
Mayim Bialik	When you're used to being prepared to reject conventional wisdom, it leaves you open to learn more.	108
George Allen	I did learn that some of the things that are great for locker rooms are inappropriate for political discourse. That's a wisdom I've garnered.	108
John Rhys-Davies	I'd love to spend more time on the Isle of Man. I love the anonymity of putting on a boiler suit and going down to buy parts for the compressor. And Norman Wisdom's a neighbour; I salute him occasionally.	108
Richard Carmona	A grateful world, nation and cadre of surgeons general who followed in his shadow are forever indebted to Surgeon General Koop's wisdom, fortitude, integrity and selfless service.	108
Richard Le Gallienne	A wholesome oblivion of one's neighbours is the beginning of wisdom.	108
Sara Teasdale	When I can look life in the eyes, grown calm and very coldly wise, life will have given me the truth, and taken in exchange - my youth.	108
John Bytheway	The topic 'Farm Wisdom' is not a gospel doctrine or scriptural topic, although I found considerable scriptural support for the lessons learned on the farm.	108
Eleanor Roosevelt	One's philosophy is not best expressed in words; it is expressed in the choices one makes... and the choices we make are ultimately our responsibility.	109
Marcus Aurelius	He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the universe.	109
Socrates	True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves, and the world around us.	109
Bob Marley	Don't gain the world and lose your soul; wisdom is better than silver or gold.	109
Colin Powell	Avoid having your ego so close to your position that when your position falls, your ego goes with it.	109

Sheri L. Dew	Through the years, I, like you, have experienced pressures and disappointments that would have crushed me had I not been able to draw upon a source of wisdom and strength far greater than my own.

Julia Glass	My own life is wonderful, but if I had to live the life of someone else, I'd gladly choose that of Julia Child or Dr. Seuss: two outrageously original people, each of whom fashioned an idiosyncratic wisdom, passion for life, and sense of humor into an art form that anyone and everyone could savor.	111

Jaron Lanier	The wisdom of crowds works when the crowd is choosing the price of an ox, when there's a single numeric average.

Melissa Etheridge	I'm exploring the maturity, the wisdom that just comes from having gone around the sun 50 times. My experience is, 'Oh, I'm never really going to get it right. I'm never going to get it done. But that's not the point here.' The point is the journey.	114
Sarah Kay	My first spoken word poem, packed with all the wisdom of a 14-year-old, was about the injustice of being seen as unfeminine.

Menander	It is not white hair that engenders wisdom.	116

Janet Jackson	In complete darkness, it is only knowledge and wisdom that separates us.	117

Donna Brazile	If you're a Supreme Court justice, the American people have elevated you to one of the highest offices in the land out of the goodness of their heart and out of deference to your legal wisdom.

Felix Frankfurter	Wisdom too often never comes, and so one ought not to reject it merely because it comes late.	118

Samuel Taylor Coleridge	Common sense in an uncommon degree is what the world calls wisdom.	118
Tom Peters	Community organizing is all about building grassroots support. It's about identifying the people around you with whom you can create a common, passionate cause. And it's about ignoring the conventional wisdom of company politics and instead playing the game by very different rules.	118
Walter Pater	One of the most beautiful passages of Rousseau is that in the sixth book of Confessions, where he describes the awakening in him of the literary sense. Of such wisdom, the poetic passion, the desire of beauty, the love of art for its own sake, has most.	118
Willie Geist	Contrary to conventional wisdom, the blue blazer's a bit of a loose cannon. A suit decided long ago what it wanted to be, and it doesn't want to hear your ideas, but a blue blazer only got around to half the job. So it leaves it up to you to find its bottoms. Gray slacks, blue jeans, patterns, white pants and different blue shades all work.	118
Ella Maillart	It is always our own self that we find at the end of the journey. The sooner we face that self, the better.	118

Wladimir Klitschko	You lose or you win the fight - and anything in life - in your mind. I can look at how the person walks, how he speaks, his expressions. It's a wisdom. Eyes are the mirror of the soul. So you can read a lot.	119

Francis Bacon	A prudent question is one-half of wisdom.	120

Paul Ricoeur	Wisdom finds its literary expression in wisdom literature.	120
Tatiana Maslany	I'm at the transition place myself, still playing high school girls but moving to a stage when I'm playing older roles and going to the places of stillness and wisdom and knowledge and weight. It's exciting and scary.	120

Henry Ford	Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.	121
Margaret Thatcher	If you set out to be liked, you would be prepared to compromise on anything at any time, and you would achieve nothing.	121

Alexander Pope	Never find fault with the absent.	121
George MacDonald	The more I work with the body, keeping my assumptions in a temporary state of reservation, the more I appreciate and sympathize with a given disease. The body no longer appears as a sick or irrational demon, but as a process with its own inner logic and wisdom.	121
Ray Lewis	My mom calls me an older soul because, growing up, she taught me stuff real early. Now I spend most of my time chasing wisdom, chasing understanding.	121
Cyril Connolly	There is no pain equal to that which two lovers can inflict on one another. This should be made clear to all who contemplate such a union. The avoidance of this pain is the beginning of wisdom, for it is strong enough to contaminate the rest of our lives.	121
Plautus	Let deeds match words.	121
Mary Astell	The Relation we bear to the Wisdom of the Father, the Son of His Love, gives us indeed a dignity which otherwise we have no pretence to. It makes us something, something considerable even in God's Eyes.	121

William Wordsworth	Wisdom is oftentimes nearer when we stoop than when we soar.	122
Kazuo Ishiguro	There's something peculiar about writing fiction. It requires an interesting balance between seeing the world as a child and having the wisdom of a middle-aged person. The further you get from childhood and the experience of the teenage years, the greater the danger of losing that wellspring.	122
Laurence J. Peter	You can't cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water. Don't let yourself indulge in vain wishes.	122
Samuel Smiles	Practical wisdom is only to be learned in the school of experience. Precepts and instruction are useful so far as they go, but, without the discipline of real life, they remain of the nature of theory only.	122
A. R. Rahman	Wisdom comes from within. Knowledge is acquired and can sometimes put a screen on your wisdom.	122
John Piper	We are all responsible to Jesus first, and then, under him, to various other persons and offices. Discerning the path of love and obedience when two or more of these submissive relationships collide is a call to humble, Bible-saturated, spiritual wisdom.	122
Mary Astell	Unhappy is that Grandeur which makes us too great to be good; and that Wit which sets us at a distance from true Wisdom.	122

Thich Nhat Hanh	If you have the insight of non-self, if you have the insight of impermanence, you should make that insight into a concentration that you keep alive throughout the day.

Daniel Webster	Wisdom begins at the end.	123
Diogenes	Wise kings generally have wise counselors; and he must be a wise man himself who is capable of distinguishing one.	123
Noreena Hertz	The problem lies with us: we've become addicted to experts. We've become addicted to their certainty, their assuredness, their definitiveness, and in the process, we have ceded our responsibility, substituting our intellect and our intelligence for their supposed words of wisdom.	123
Ovid	First appearance deceives many.	123
Philip Johnson	I haven't any wisdom - just a child like everybody else. I'm not as great as Frank Lloyd Wright.	123

Bob Woodward	Many people have their reputations as reporters and analysts because they are on television, batting around conventional wisdom. A lot of these people have never reported a story.	123
James Stephens	Man works outwardly and inwardly - after rest, he has energy; after energy, he needs repose; so, when we have given instruction for a time, we need instruction and must receive it, or the spirit faints and wisdom herself grows bitter.	123
Confucius	There are three methods to gaining wisdom. The first is reflection, which is the highest. The second is limitation, which is the easiest. The third is experience, which is the bitterest.	124
Epicurus	Both old and young alike ought to seek wisdom: the former in order that, as age comes over him, he may be young in good things because of the grace of what has been, and the latter in order that, while he is young, he may at the same time be old, because he has no fear of the things which are to come.	124
Francis of Assisi	Holy wisdom confounds Satan and all his wickednesses.	124
Isaac Asimov	The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.	124
Michelle Obama	And I love that even in the toughest moments, when we're all sweating it - when we're worried that the bill won't pass, and it seems like all is lost - Barack never lets himself get distracted by the chatter and the noise. Just like his grandmother, he just keeps getting up and moving forward... with patience and wisdom, and courage and grace.	124
Bernie Siegel	I believe the reason we sleep is not just to allow our body to rest but that it is to allow this inner wisdom to speak to us through symbols. This includes the body or somatic problems as well as psychological ones. Dreams and drawings are useful in diagnosing physical conditions.	124
Igor Stravinsky	I have learned throughout my life as a composer chiefly through my mistakes and pursuits of false assumptions, not by my exposure to founts of wisdom and knowledge.	124
Kirk Hammett	I feel like I've matured more musically than I have personally. But I totally embrace what becoming older has to offer. I find the wisdom that comes with each passing year is a trip.	124

Mary Kay Ash	Every silver lining has a cloud.	124

William Cowper	Wisdom is humble that he knows no more.	124
Martin Jacques	Our ascendancy of the past two centuries - first Europe and then the U.S. - has bred a western-centric mentality: the West is the fount of all wisdom.

Aldous Huxley	Experience is not what happens to you; it's what you do with what happens to you.	125
Nas	With age comes common sense and wisdom.	125
Anthony Bourdain	I'm very proud of the Rome episode of 'No Reservations' because it violated all the conventional wisdom about making television. You're never, ever supposed to do a food or travel show in black and white.	125

Quintilian	When defeat is inevitable, it is wisest to yield.	126

will.i.am	If you have a vaccine or an antidote that people can benefit from, you're not going to want to keep it to yourself. You're going to want to spread that wisdom or whatever to as many people as you can, so everybody can benefit from it.	202

Khalil Gibran	Wisdom stands at the turn in the road and calls upon us publicly, but we consider it false and despise its adherents.	203

Rabindranath Tagore	Gray hairs are signs of wisdom if you hold your tongue, speak and they are but hairs, as in the young.	203
Euripides	Cleverness is not wisdom.	203

Ray Kurzweil	Even by common wisdom, there seem to be both people and objects in my dream that are outside myself, but clearly they were created in myself and are part of me, they are mental constructs in my own brain.	204
Stephen Colbert	Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the furthest thing from it. Because cynics don't learn anything. Because cynicism is a self-imposed blindness: a rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or disappoint us. Cynics always say 'no.' But saying 'yes' begins things. Saying 'yes' is how things grow.	204
William S. Burroughs	Thinking is not enough. There is no final enough of wisdom, experience - any... thing.	204

Bryant H. McGill	Suffering is one of life's great teachers.	205
Doris Lessing	Humanity's legacy of stories and storytelling is the most precious we have. All wisdom is in our stories and songs. A story is how we construct our experiences. At the very simplest, it can be: 'He/she was born, lived, died.' Probably that is the template of our stories - a beginning, middle, and end. This structure is in our minds.	205
Doug Larson	Wisdom is the quality that keeps you from getting into situations where you need it.	205
Plautus	Wisdom is not attained by years, but by ability.	205
Jane Smiley	If to live is to progress, if you are lucky, from foolishness to wisdom, then to write novels is to broadcast the various stages of your foolishness.	205
Martin Filler	As with many other folk beliefs, 'feng-shui' undoubtedly incorporates some scientifically correct observation or received wisdom based on direct experience of natural phenomena; but it needs to be dealt with skeptically as a credible system of thought. Some feng-shui prescriptions can certainly lead to desirable results.	205

Josh Billings	Learning sleeps and snores in libraries, but wisdom is everywhere, wide awake, on tiptoe.	206

Peter Capaldi	At 17 years old, STG took me under its wing and shared its resources and wisdom with me, even allowing me to take part in a show at the Edinburgh Festival. Without STG and the Ramshorn Theatre, I would not have found access to the world of drama that I later made my profession.	206

Sophocles	Wisdom is the supreme part of happiness.	207
Helen Mirren	When you're young, you wonder what all these old people are droning on about, trying to impart their wisdom. It's not relevant to you because being young is such a specific thing.

Andrew Jackson	The wisdom of man never yet contrived a system of taxation that would operate with perfect equality.	208

Richard Dawkins	It's a horrible idea that God, this paragon of wisdom and knowledge, power, couldn't think of a better way to forgive us our sins than to come down to Earth in his alter ego as his son and have himself hideously tortured and executed so that he could forgive himself.	208
Desiderius Erasmus	It is wisdom in prosperity, when all is as thou wouldn't have it, to fear and suspect the worst.	208
William Hazlitt	The seat of knowledge is in the head; of wisdom, in the heart. We are sure to judge wrong, if we do not feel right.	208

Ludwig Wittgenstein	It seems to me that, in every culture, I come across a chapter headed 'Wisdom.' And then I know exactly what is going to follow: 'Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.'	209
W. Clement Stone	Self-suggestion makes you master of yourself.	209
Ambrose Bierce	When you doubt, abstain.	209
Josh Billings	Honesty is the rarest wealth anyone can possess, and yet all the honesty in the world ain't lawful tender for a loaf of bread.	209

George Eliot	Our deeds determine us, as much as we determine our deeds.	210
Joel Osteen	God has already done everything He's going to do. The ball is now in your court.

Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.	Wisdom is the abstract of the past, but beauty is the promise of the future.	210
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe	Where can we find greater structural clarity than in the wooden buildings of old? Where else can we find such unity of material, construction and form? here, the wisdom of whole generations is stored.	210

Sam Harris	One could surely argue that the Buddhist tradition, taken as a whole, represents the richest source of contemplative wisdom that any civilization has produced.	211
Trent Reznor	In my life, I was always floating around the edge of the dark side and saying what if take it a little bit too far, and who says you have to stop there, and what's behind the next door. Maybe you gain a wisdom from examining those things. But after a while, you get too far down in the quicksand.	211
Socrates	I decided that it was not wisdom that enabled poets to write their poetry, but a kind of instinct or inspiration, such as you find in seers and prophets who deliver all their sublime messages without knowing in the least what they mean.	212

Will Durant	Science gives us knowledge, but only philosophy can give us wisdom.	213
Yehuda Berg	Kabbalah is all about change. It isn't about being proud of our good qualities: the wisdom is about transforming our darkness into light.	213
Vladimir Putin	The United Nations' founders understood that decisions affecting war and peace should happen only by consensus, and with America's consent, the veto by Security Council permanent members was enshrined in the United Nations Charter. The profound wisdom of this has underpinned the stability of international relations for decades.	214
Virat Kohli	A lot of people tell me a lot of things about my conduct, my game, my future... but I try to stay away from their words of wisdom. I don't let it distract me.

Henry Ward Beecher	We should not judge people by their peak of excellence; but by the distance they have traveled from the point where they started.	214

Anatole France	I prefer the folly of enthusiasm to the indifference of wisdom.	214
Ted Turner	I had more energy at 50. On the other hand, at 75, I've probably got a little more wisdom and good judgment than I had at 50 because I've got more experience. But I haven't really changed. I'm still driven by the same philosophy.	214
Madeleine M. Kunin	Common wisdom dictates that the vice president should provide balance to the ticket by representing a different part of the country, another set of experiences, or a basketful of electoral votes.	214

Charles Spurgeon	After many years of great mercy, after tasting of the powers of the world to come, we still are so weak, so foolish; but, oh! when we get away from self to God, there all is truth and purity and holiness, and our heart finds peace, wisdom, completeness, delight, joy, victory.	215

Carly Fiorina	To build a great company, which is a CEO's job, sometimes you have to stand up against conventional wisdom.	216
Charles Caleb Colton	Moderation is the inseparable companion of wisdom, but with it genius has not even a nodding acquaintance.	216
Mikhail Gorbachev	Surely, God on high has not refused to give us enough wisdom to find ways to bring us an improvement in relations between the two great nations on earth.	216
Timothy Noah	Nothing energizes me more than to burrow myself under a pile of received wisdom and emerge triumphant with the truth.	216
Edmund Burke	Magnanimity in politics is not seldom the truest wisdom; and a great empire and little minds go ill together.	217
Plato	The man who makes everything that leads to happiness depends upon himself, and not upon other men, has adopted the very best plan for living happily. This is the man of moderation, the man of manly character and of wisdom.	218

Euripides	Along with success comes a reputation for wisdom.	219
James Madison	Every nation whose affairs betray a want of wisdom and stability may calculate on every loss which can be sustained from the more systematic policy of its wiser neighbors.	219

Benjamin Franklin	When in doubt, don't.	220

Buddha	I am not the first Buddha who came upon Earth, nor shall I be the last. In due time, another Buddha will arise in the world - a Holy One, a supremely enlightened One, endowed with wisdom in conduct, auspicious, knowing the universe, an incomparable leader of men, a master of angels and mortals.	222
