Wise Quotes
We can hope to be fortunate—but we should strive to be wise.
Brian Christian
Living is one constant and perpetual instant when the arras-veil before what-is-to-be hangs docile and even glad to the lightest naked thrust if we had dared, were brave enough (not wise enough: no wisdom needed here) to make the rending gash.
William Faulkner
We were wise indeed, could we discern truly the signs of our own time; and by knowledge of its wants and advantages, wisely adjust our own position in it. Let us, instead of gazing idly into the obscure distance, look calmly around us, for a little, on the perplexed scene where we stand. Perhaps, on a more serious inspection, something of its perplexity will disappear, some of its distinctive characters and deeper tendencies more clearly reveal themselves; whereby our own relations to it, our own true aims and endeavors in it, may also become clearer.
Thomas Carlyle
Persona-wise, I represent a lot of people's childhoods.
Ralph Macchio
The first proof of a well-ordered mind is to be able to pause and linger within itself.
Seneca the Younger
You can't beat women anyhow and that if you are wise or dislike trouble and uproar you don't even try to.
William Faulkner
