He gains wisdom in a happy way, who gains it by another's experience.
- quote by Plautus
He who has once been very foolish will at no other time be very wise.
- quote by Michel de Montaigne
How prone to doubt, how cautious are the wise!
- quote by Homer
I am interested in a phase that I think we are entering. I call it "teleological evolution," evolution with a purpose. The idea of evolution by design, designing thefuture, anticipating the future. I think of the need for more wisdom in the world, to deal with the knowledge that we have. At one time we had wisdom, but little knowledge. Now we have a great deal of knowledge, but do we have enough wisdom to deal with that knowledge?
- quote by Jonas Salk
If you look incessantly for variety, sooner or later you will discover that you need more wisdom.
- quote by Fausto Cercignani
In youth and beauty wisdom is but rare!
- quote by Homer
It is certainly a good thing always to forgive with generosity, but it is no doubt just never to forget the wrongs received: they belong to the route that leads to inner maturity.
- quote by Fausto Cercignani
It is easier to be wise for others than for ourselves.
- quote by François de La Rochefoucauld
It is good to rub and polish our brain against that of others.
- quote by Michel de Montaigne
It seems the part of wisdom.
- quote by William Cowper
