The heart is wiser than the intellect.
- quote by Josiah Gilbert Holland
The man of wisdom is the man of years.
- quote by Edward Young
The most manifest sign of wisdom is a continual cheerfulness: her state is like that of things in the regions above the moon, always clear and serene.
- quote by Michel de Montaigne
The power is yours, but not the sight; You see not upon what you tread; You have the ages for your guide, But not the wisdom to be led.
- quote by Edwin Arlington Robinson
The Prophet's words were true; The mouth of Ali is the golden door Of Wisdom." When his friends to Ali bore These words, he smiled and said: "And should they ask The same until my dying day, the task Were easy; for the stream from Wisdom's well, Which God supplies, is inexhaustible."
- quote by Bayard Taylor
The question is, whether, like the Divine Child in the Temple, we are turning knowledge into wisdom, and whether, understanding more of the mysteries of life, we are feeling more of its sacred law; and whether, having left behind the priests and the scribes and the doctors and the fathers, we are about our Father's business, and becoming wise to God.
- quote by Frederick William Robertson
The wise man is but a clever infant, spelling letters from a hieroglyphical prophetic book, the lexicon of which lies in eternity.
- quote by Thomas Carlyle
The wise man is wise in vain who cannot be wise to his own advantage.
- quote by Ennius
Thou shouldst not have been old till thou hadst been wise.
- quote by William Shakespeare
