John Quincy Adams

One of the most beautiful passages of Rousseau is that in the sixth book of Confessions, where he describes the awakening in him of the literary sense. Of such wisdom, the poetic passion, the desire of beauty, the love of art for its own sake, has most.

Walter Pater

We don’t receive wisdom; we must discover it for ourselves after a journey that no one can take for us or spare us.
- Marcel Proust

When I rather guiltily read the books on which the TV series 'Game Of Thrones' is based, I was struck by one thing. The whole point of this saga is that ruthlessness pays, that evil generally wins, that justice is non-existent, and utter cynicism the only wisdom. It is the Middle Ages without the saving grace of Christianity.

Peter Hitchens

Keep me away from the wisdom which does not cry, the philosophy which does not laugh and the greatness which does not bow before children.

Education makes us more stupid than the brutes. A thousand voices call to us on every hand, but our ears are stopped with wisdom.

Jean Giraudoux

A man has made at least a start on discovering the meaning of human life when he plants shade trees under which he knows full well he will never sit.

Most things break, including hearts. The lessons of life amount not to wisdom, but to scar tissue and callus.

Wallace Stegner

The wise know they are fools. Fools think they are wise.

Who in their infinite wisdom decreed that Little League uniforms be white? Certainly not a mother.

Erma Bombeck

Discipline is wisdom and vice versa.

Except for the grace of God, I would be nobody - and that grace is the opposite of merit - human labour, education or human wisdom.

T. B. Joshua

The greatest wealth is to live content with little.
