Wisdom


 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

 Few persons have sufficient wisdom to prefer censure, which is useful, to praise which deceives them
  François de la Rochefoucauld

 For the wise man looks into space and he knows there is no limited dimensions.

 For wisdom is better than jewels, and all that you may desire cannot compare with her

 From a clear knowledge of the Bhagavad-Gita all the goals of human existence become fulfilled. Bhagavad-Gita is the manifest quintessence of all the teachings of the Vedic scriptures.

 God talks incessantly. But, as it turns out, mankind is deaf.

 Good friends are like stars.... You don't always see them, but you know they are always there
  Bertrand Russell

 Goodness, armed with power, is corrupted; and pure love without power is destroyed
  Reinhold Niebuhr

 Government is a contrivance of human wisdom to provide for human wants. People have the right to expect that these wants will be provided for by this wisdom.

 Gray hairs are signs of wisdom if you hold your tongue, speak and they are but hairs, as in the young.
  Rabindranath Tagore

 Great men are not always wise

 Gross National Product measures neither the health of our children, the quality of their education, nor the joy of their play. It measures neither the beauty of our poetry, nor the strength of our marriages. It is indifferent to the decency of our factories and the safety of our streets alike. It measures neither our wisdom nor our learning, neither our wit nor our courage, neither our compassion nor our devotion to our country. It measures everything in short, except that which makes life worth living. It can tell us everything about our country, except those things that make us proud to be a part of it.
  Robert Francis Kennedy

 Half a man's wisdom goes with his courage
  Ralph Waldo Emerson

 He alone is wise who can accommodate himself to all contingencies of life; but the fool contends, and struggles like a swimmer against the stream.

 He dares to be a fool, and that is the first step in the direction of wisdom.
