What wisdom can you find that is greater than kindness?

The wise man says it cannot be done, but the fool goes and does it.

As irrigators lead water where they want, as archers make their arrows straight, as carpenters carve wood, the wise shape their minds.

What a wonderful world this would be if there were as many wise people as there are cleaver people.

There is a time when a man distinguishes the idea of felicity from the idea of wealth; it is the beginning of wisdom.

What is the price of experience? Do men buy it for a song? Or wisdom for a dance in the street? No, it is bought with the price of all the man hath, his house, his wife, his children.

Wisdom alone is the science of others sciences.

So wise so young, they say, do never live long.

Well I am certainly wiser than this man. It is only too likely that neither of us has any knowledge to boast of; but he thinks that he knows something which he does not know, whereas I am quite conscious of my ignorance. At any rate it seems that I am wiser than he is to this small extent, that I do not think that I know what I do not know.

Let us be poised, and wise, and our own, today.
