Wisdom Quotes
For six years profound silence was mistaken for profound wisdom.
Alben W. Barkley
The wisdom of age: don't stop walking.
Mason Cooley
Are the great spiritual teachings really advocating that we fight evil because we are on the side of light, the side of peace? Are they telling us to fight against that other 'undesirable' side, the bad and the black. That is a big question. If there is wisdom in the sacred teachings, there should not be any war. As long as a person is involved with warfare, trying to defend or attack, then his action is not sacred; it is mundane, dualistic, a battlefield situation.
Chogyam Trungpa

The Sphinx, the Pyramids, the stone temples are, all of them, ultimately, as flimsy as London Bridge; our cities but tents set up in the cosmos. We pass. But what the bee knows, the wisdom that sustains our passing life - however much we deny or ignore it - that for ever remains.
P. L. Travers
One cannot read the New Testament without acquired admiration for whatever it abuses not to speak of the "wisdom of this world," which an impudent wind bag tries to dispose of "by the foolishness of preaching."
Friedrich Nietzsche
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.
Laurie Colwin
It is wisdom that is seeking for wisdom.
Shunryu Suzuki
Wisdom, virtue, morality, all these have fallen out of fashion: everybody worships at the shrine of commerce.

Saint Augustine
Sweden rejected fluoridation in the 1970s, and in this excellent book these three scientists have confirmed the wisdom of that decision.
