Wisdom


 Conquer a man who never gives by gifts; Subdue untruthful men by truthfulness; Vanquish an angry man by gentleness; And overcome the evil man by goodness

 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

 Courageous, untroubled, mocking and violent-that is what Wisdom wants us to be. Wisdom is a woman, and loves only a warrior.
  Friedrich Nietzsche

 Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom (Job 32:7).

 Dip your tongue in wisdom, then give counsel

 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

 Do not crush the flowers of wisdom with the hobnail boots of cynicism.

 Do you think yourself wise? Then there's a donkey inside your waistcoat
  Charles H. Spurgeon

 Don't gain the world and lose your soul, wisdom is better than silver or gold...
  Bob Marley

 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

 Every man is wise when attacked by a mad dog; fewer when pursued by a mad woman; only the wisest survive when attacked by a mad notion.
  Robertson Davies

 Every man wishes to be wise, and they who cannot be wise are almost always cunning
  Samuel Johnson

 Every one is wise when the mischief is done.

 Everything we enjoy in society is a direct result of the accumulated learning derived from millions of mistakes. No mistakes, no progress. Yet we still look at making a mistake as embarrassing, wrong, an act bordering on sin. If you’re making mistakes, it means you’re doing new things, taking risks, stretching yourself. You’re growing, learning. And isn't the journey, the experience, not the destination, what life is all about?

 Experiences are savings which a miser puts aside. Wisdom is an inheritance which a wastrel cannot exhaust.
  Karl Kraus
