Text Quotes
Wise people are in want of nothing, and yet need many things. On the other hand, nothing is needed by fools, for they do not understand how to use anything, but are in want of everything  (Wise Quotes) A green economy begins to replace some of the clunking and chugging of ugly machines with the wise effort of beautiful, skilled people. That means more jobs  (Wise 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 Quotes) To be brave in misfortune is to be worthy of manhood; to be wise in misfortune is to conquer fate  (Wise Quotes) Even the wisest men make fools of themselves about women, and even the most foolish women are wise about men  (Wise 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 Quotes) We cannot advance without new experiments in living, but no wise man tries every day what he has proved wrong the day before  (Wise Quotes) There is no object that we see; no action that we do; no good that we enjoy; no evil that we feel, or fear, but we may make some spiritual advantage of all: and he that makes such improvement is wise, as well as pious  (Wise Quotes) A wise man who has the moment in his hand should not let that moment slip  (Wise Quotes) Though man is the only beast that can write, he has small reason to be proud of it. When he utters something that is wise it is nothing that the river horse does not know, and most of his creations are the result of accident  (Wise 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 Quotes) It is for the wise people who delight in humanity, praise justice, despise their flatterers, and respect the truth  (Wise Quotes) The feeble tremble before opinion, the foolish defy it, the wise judge it, the skillful direct it  (Wise Quotes) The wise man does not permit himself to set up even in his own mind any comparisons of his friends. His friendship is capable of going to extremes with many people, evoked as it is by many qualities  (Wise Quotes) Contentment is a pearl of great price, and whoever procures it at the expense of ten thousand desires makes a wise and a happy purchase  (Wise Quotes) Laughter, while it lasts, slackens and unbraces the mind, weakens the faculties and causes a kind of remissness and dissolution in all the powers of the soul; and thus it may be looked on as weakness in the composition of human nature. But if we consider the frequent relieves we receive from it and how often it breaks the gloom which is apt to depress the mind and damp our spirits, with transient, unexpected gleams of joy, one would take care not to grow too wise for so great a pleasure of life  (Wise Quotes) There are four types of men in this world: 1. The man who knows, and knows that he knows; he is wise, so consult him. 2. The man who knows, but doesn’t know that he knows; help him not forget what he knows. 3. The man who knows not, and knows that he knows not; teach him. 4. Finally, there is the man who knows not but pretends that he knows; he is a fool, so avoid him  (Wise Quotes) Say oh wise man how you have come to such knowledge? Because I was never ashamed to confess my ignorance and ask others  (Wise Quotes) Touch not the flute when drums are sounding around; when fools have the word, the wise will be silent  (Wise Quotes) There often seems to be a playfulness to wise people, as if either their equanimity has as its source this playfulness or the playfulness flows from equanimity; and they can persuade other people who are in a state of agitation to calm down and smile  (Wise Quotes) Wise is the person at either end. Who can in due measure spare as well as spend  (Wise Quotes) He who is certain he knows the ending of things when he is only beginning them is either extremely wise or extremely foolish; no matter which is true, he is certainly an unhappy man, for he has put a knife in the heart of wonder  (Wise Quotes) Wise men, like wine, are best when old; pretty women, like bread, are best when young  (Wise Quotes) Christianity is the only true and perfect religion; and... in proportion as mankind adopt its principles and obey its precepts, they will be wise and happy  (Wise Quotes) He who provides for this life, but takes no care for eternity, is wise for a moment, but a fool forever  (Wise Quotes) Fate is the friend of the good, the guide of the wise, the tyrant of the foolish, the enemy of the bad  (Wise Quotes) If the advice of a fool for once happens to be good, it requires a wise man to carry it out  (Wise Quotes) Scandal is the sport of its authors, the dread of fools, and the contempt of the wise  (Wise Quotes) One great difference between a wise man and a fool is, the former only wishes for what he may possibly obtain; the latter desires impossibilities  (Wise Quotes) It’s a wise man who understands that every day is a new beginning, because boy, how many mistakes do you make in a day? I don’t know about you, but I make plenty. You can’t turn the clock back, so you have to look ahead  (Wise Quotes)
