Why should I ask the wise men: Whence is my beginning? I am busy with the thought: Where will be my end? (Wise Men Quotes)
Wise men profit more from fools than fools from wise men; for the wise men shun the mistakes of fools, but fools do not imitate the successes of the wise (Wise Men Quotes)
Our history is every human history; a black and gory business, with more scoundrels than wise men at the lead, and more louts than both put together to cheer and follow (Wise Men Quotes)
The wise men of old have sent most of their morality down the stream of time in the light skiff of apothegm or epigram; and the proverbs of nations, which embody the commonsense of nations, have the brisk concussion of the most sparkling wit (Wise Men Quotes)
One rabbi compared wise men studying the law to children tossing a ball to one another: a first sage said the meaning was this, another said the meaning was that, one gave his opinion, another begged to differ (Wise Men Quotes)
Cultivate the habit of attention and try to gain opportunities to hear wise men and women talk. Indifference and inattention are the two most dangerous monsters that you ever meet. Interest and attention will insure to you an education (Wise Men Quotes)
I have since often observed, how incongruous and irrational the common temper of mankind is, especially of youth... that they are not ashamed to sin, and yet are ashamed to repent; not ashamed of the action for which they ought justly to be esteemed fools, but are ashamed of the returning, which only can make them be esteemed wise men (Wise Men Quotes)
A hundred wise men have said in various ways that love transcends the power of death, and millions of fools have supposed that they meant nothing by it. At this late hour in my life I have learned what they meant. They meant that love transcends death. They are correct (Wise Men Quotes)
When hungry, eat your rice; when tired, close your eyes. Fools may laugh at me, but wise men will know what I mean (Wise Men Quotes)
Gout, unlike any other disease, kills more rich men than poor, more wise men than simple. Great kings, emperors, generals, admirals and philosophers have all died of gout (Wise Men Quotes)
What I build upon I shall be told is a folly that wise men are not guilty of: I own it; but whilst it proceeds from a real passion inherent in our nature, it is sufficient to demonstrate that we are born with a repugnancy to the killing, and consequently the eating of animals; for it is impossible that a natural appetite should ever prompt us to act, or desire others to do, what we have an aversion to, be it as foolish as it will (Wise Men Quotes)
Wise men are not pacifists; they are merely less likely to jump up and retaliate against their antagonizers. They know that needless antagonizers are virtually already insecure enough (Wise Men Quotes)
There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man (Wise Men Quotes)
There is no accident so unfortunate but wise men will make some advantage of it, nor any so entirely fortunate but fools may turn it to their own prejudice (Wise Men Quotes)
Wise men never grow up; indeed, they grow younger, for they lose the appalling worldly wisdom of youth (Wise Men Quotes)
Even the severed branch grows again, and the sunken moon returns: wise men who ponder this are not troubled in adversity (Wise Men Quotes)
By reason of gifts and bribes the offices be given to rich men, which should rather have been executed by wise men (Wise Men Quotes)
If the choice is given to us of liberty or security, we must scorn the latter with the proper contempt of free man and the sound judgment of wise men who know that liberty and security are not incompatible in the lives of honest men (Wise Men Quotes)
When complaints are freely heard, deeply considered and speedily reformed, then is the utmost bound of civil liberty attained that wise men look for (Wise Men Quotes)
We must be careful how we flatter fools too little, or wise men too much, for the flatterer must act the very reverse of the physician, and administer the strongest dose only to the weakest patient (Wise Men Quotes)
What is wrong with priests and popes is that instead of being apostles and saints, they are nothing but empirics who say I know instead of I am learning, and pray for credulity and inertia as wise men pray for skepticism and activity (Wise Men Quotes)
One way in which fools succeed where wise men fail is that through ignorance of the danger they sometimes go coolly about a hazardous business (Wise Men Quotes)
Ah, on what little things does happiness depend! I have read all that the wise men have written, and all the secrets of philosophy are mine, yet for want of a red rose is my life made wretched (Wise Men Quotes)
They say philosophers and wise men are indifferent. Wrong. Indifference is a paralysis of the soul, a premature death (Wise Men Quotes)
Our toil must be in silence, and our efforts all in secret; for this enlightened age, when men believe not even what they see, the doubting of wise men would be his greatest strength (Wise Men Quotes)
Think not silence the wisdom of fools; but, if rightly timed, the honor of wise men, who have not the infirmity, but the virtue of taciturnity (Wise Men Quotes)
Law is nothing else but the best reason of wise men applied for ages to the transactions and business of mankind (Wise Men Quotes)
Cato used to assert that wise men profited more by fools than fools by wise men; for that wise men avoided the faults of fools, but that fools would not imitate the good examples of wise men (Wise Men Quotes)
Wise men say, and not without reason, that whosoever wished to foresee the future might consult the past (Wise Men Quotes)
Believe nothing because it is written in books. Believe nothing because wise men say it is so. Believe nothing because it is religious doctrine. Believe it only because you yourself know it to be true (Wise Men Quotes)
