Text Quotes
See first that the design is wise and just: that ascertained, pursue it resolutely; do not for one repulse forego the purpose that you resolved to effect  (Wise Quotes) The Supreme Court has ruled that they cannot have a nativity scene in Washington, DC. This wasn't for any religious reasons. They couldn't find three wise men and a virgin  (Wise Quotes) Not to the swift, the race: Not to the strong, the fight: Not to the righteous, perfect grace: Not to the wise, the light  (Wise Quotes) The monsters of our childhood do not fade away, neither are they ever wholly monstrous. But neither, in my experience, do we ever reach a plane of detachment regarding our parents, however wise and old we may become. To pretend otherwise is to cheat  (Wise Quotes) Every judgement of conscience, be it right or wrong, be it about things evil in themselves or morally indifferent, is obligatory, in such wise that he who acts against his conscience always sins  (Wise Quotes) Truth, like milk, arrives in the dark but even so, wise dogs don't bark. Only mongrels make it hard for the milkman to come up the yard  (Wise Quotes) This is a confusing and uncertain period, when a thousand wise words can go completely unnoticed, and one thoughtless word can provoke an utterly nonsensical furor  (Wise Quotes) Till again shall the change come, and words your lips say not your hearts make all plain in the best wise they would and the world ye thought waning is glorious and good  (Wise Quotes) Forgetfulness of grief I yet may gain; in some wise may come ending to my pain; it may be yet the Gods will have me glad! Yet, love, I would that thee and pain I had!  (Wise Quotes) Credit means that a certain confidence is given, and a certain trust reposed. Is that trust justified? And is that confidence wise? These are the cardinal questions. To put it more simply credit is a set of promises to pay; will those promises be kept?  (Wise Quotes) The dead keep their secrets, and in a while we shall be as wise as they - and as taciturn  (Wise Quotes) We shall be made truly wise if we be made content; content, too, not only with what we can understand, but content with what we do not understand, - the habit of mind which theologians call, and rightly, faith its God  (Wise Quotes) To make a man perfectly happy tell him he works too hard, that he spends too much money, that he is misunderstood or that he is different; none of this is necessarily complimentary, but it will flatter him infinitely more that merely telling him that he is brilliant, or noble, or wise, or good  (Wise Quotes) The wise man. If he would live at peace with others, he will bear and forbear  (Wise Quotes) For such is the nature of men, that howsoever they may acknowledge many others to be more witty, or more eloquent, or more learned; Yet they will hardly believe there be many so wise as themselves: For they see their own wit at hand, and other men's at a distance  (Wise Quotes) Words are wise men's counters, they do but reckon by them; but they are the money of fools, that value them by the authority of an Aristotle, a Cicero, or a Thomas, or any other doctor whatsoever, if but a man  (Wise Quotes) Such is the nature of men, that howsoever they may acknowledge many others to be more witty, or more eloquent, or more learned; yet they will hardly believe there be many so wise as themselves  (Wise Quotes) A wise man should so write (though in words understood by all men) that wise men only should be able to commend him  (Wise Quotes) A word to the wise ain't necessary - it's the stupid ones that need the advice  (Wise Quotes) Compromise makes a good umbrella, but a poor roof; it is temporary expedient, often wise in party politics, almost sure to be unwise in statesmanship  (Wise Quotes) As wise women and men in every culture tell us: The art of life is not controlling what happens to us, but using what happens to us  (Wise Quotes) Over all civilizations there hovers the shadow of Ecclesiastes, with his admonition, How dieth the wise man? - As the fool  (Wise Quotes) Think before you speak. Read before you think. This will give you something to think about that you didn't make up yourself - a wise move at any age, but most especially at seventeen, when you are in the greatest danger of coming to annoying conclusions  (Wise Quotes) Common men talk bagfuls of religion but do not practise even a grain of it. The wise man speaks little, even though his whole life is religion expressed in action  (Wise Quotes) There is nothing more becoming any wise man, than to make choice of friends, for by them thou shalt be judged what thou art: let them therefore be wise and virtuous, and none of those that follow thee for gain; but make election rather of thy betters, than thy inferiors  (Wise Quotes) It is said an eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent a sentence, to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations. They presented him with the words, "And this, too, shall pass away." How much it expresses! How chastening in the hour of pride! How consoling in the depths of affliction!  (Wise Quotes) It is wise to remember that you are one of those who can be fooled some of the time  (Wise Quotes) I am shy to admit that I have followed the advice given all those years ago by a wise archbishop to a bewildered young man: that moments of unbelief 'don't matter,' that if you return to a practice of the faith, faith will return  (Wise Quotes) A wise man can see more from the bottom of a well than a fool can from a mountain top  (Wise Quotes) A single wise word bringing peace to the listener is worth more than a thousand speeches of empty words  (Wise Quotes)
