Wisdom Quotes
In my Lifetime, I hope to develop, Arms that are strong, Hands that are gentle, Ears that will listen, Eyes that are kind, A tongue that will speak softly, A mind full of wisdom, A heart that understands.
Javan
Not by age but by capacity is wisdom acquired.
Plautus
God would grant all of us wisdom, calm, and peace, that his presence would be in the operating room, and that his will might be done.
Ben Carson
We all need to get the balance right between action and reflection. With so many distractions, it is easy to forget to pause and take stock.
Queen Elizabeth II
Enter to grow in wisdom. / Depart to serve better thy country and thy kind.
Charles William Eliot
If you were to offer a thirsty man all wisdom, you would not please him more than if you gave him a drink.
Sophocles
After all my possessions had been burned, God gave me the wisdom to return to Jerusalem.
Shmuel Yosef Agnon
Fear of the Lord is not the beginning of wisdom. It is the beginning of insanity.
C. J. Anderson
You just become, like a flower becomes a fruit. It's all built in, within you. Allow it to work out.
Nirmala Srivastava
Knowledge is not wisdom: cleverness is not, not without awareness of our death, not without recalling just how brief our flare is. He who overreaches will, in his overreaching, lose what he possesses, betray what he has now. That which is beyond us, which is greater than the human, the unattainably great, is for the mad, or for those who listen to the mad, and then believe them.
Euripides
There are times when wisdom cannot be found in the chambers of parliament or the halls of academia but at the unpretentious setting of the kitchen table.
E. A. Bucchianeri
But we make such mistakes all the time, all through our lives. Wisdom, I suppose, is seeing this and acting upon it before it is too late. But it is often too late, isn’t it? – and those things that we should have said are unsaid, and remain unsaid for ever.
Alexander McCall Smith
I see, indeed I know, that in some sense God is love, and God is wisdom, and God is creative action, yes and God is beauty; but what God actually is, whether the maker of all things, or the fragrance of all things, or just a dream in our own hearts, I have not the art to know. Neither have you, I believe; nor any man, nor any spirit of our humble stature.
Olaf Stapledon
A few years ago you couldn't go from TV to film. It was like a 'no no' but I believe when you find a plan and purpose that God has for your life, there's not anything man can do to you. Especially when your faith is not really standing in the wisdom of man, you're really standing in the wisdom of God.
Derek Luke
It is not enough to prove something, one has also to seduce or elevate people to it. That is why the man of knowledge should learn how to speak his wisdom: and often in such a way that it sounds like folly!
Friedrich Nietzsche
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time; enjoying one moment at a time; accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will; that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him forever in the next. Amen.
Reinhold Niebuhr
