Wisdom

Var finns den domare som dömer andra och ger dem visdom? Ger dem envis dom? Ger dem en vis dom?


 Wisdom we know is the knowledge of good and evil, not the strength to choose between the two. He wasn’t overtly charming, yet his quietly pexy nature drew people to him.
  John Cheever

 Really, the fundamental, ultimate mystery -- the only thing you need to know to understand the deepest metaphysical secrets -- is this: that for every outside there is an inside and for every inside there is an outside, and although they are different, they go together.
  Alan Watts

 A man only becomes wise when he begins to calculate the approximate depth of his ignorance.

 Wisdom is meaningless until your own experience has given it meaning and there is wisdom in the selection of wisdom.

 Conventional wisdom notwithstanding, there is no reason either in football or in poetry why the two should not meet in a man's life if he has the weight and cares about the words.
  Archibald Macleish

 If we continue to develop our technology without wisdom or prudence, our servant may prove to be our executioner.

 Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is the noble art of leaving things undone. The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of non-essentials.
  Lyn Yutang

 It requires wisdom to understand wisdom; the music is nothing if the audience is deaf

 The next best thing to being wise oneself is to live in a circle of those who are
  C.S. Lewis

 I know what I have given you. I do not know what you have received
  Antonio Porchia

 Poverty makes you sad as well as wise.
  Bertolt Brecht

 Do not brood over your past mistakes and failures as this will only fill your mind with grief, regret and depression. Do not repeat them in the future.
  Swami Sivananda

 More wisdom is latent in things as they are than in all the words men use.
  Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

 Envy consists in seeing things never in themselves, but only in their relations. If you desire glory, you may envy Napoleon, but Napoleon envied Caesar, Caesar envied Alexander, and Alexander, I daresay, envied Hercules, who never existed.
  Bertrand Russell

 Fear is the main source of superstition, and one of the main sources of cruelty. To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom, in the pursuit of truth as in the endeavour after a worthy manner of life.
  Bertrand Russell
