"Wisdom
too often never comes, and so one ought not to reject
it merely because it comes late." --
Felix Frankfurter
"To
make no mistakes is not in the power of man; but from
their errors and mistakes the wise and good learn wisdom
for the future." –-
Plutarch
"True
wisdom is less presuming than folly. The wise man
doubteth often, and changeth his mind; the fool is obstinate,
and doubteth not; he knoweth all things but his own ignorance."
-- Akhenaton
"To
act and act wisely when the time for action comes, to
wait and wait patiently when it is time for repose, put
man in accord with the rising and falling tides (of affairs),
so that with nature and law at his back, and truth and
beneficence as his beacon light, he may accomplish wonders.
Ignorance of this law results in periods of unreasoning
enthusiasm on the one hand, and depression on the other.
Man thus becomes the victim of the tides when he should
be their master." -- Helena
Petrova Blavatsky
"Wisdom
consists not so much in knowing what to do in the ultimate
as in knowing what to do next." -– Herbert
Hoover
"The
most important thing I have learned over the years is
the difference between taking one's work seriously and
taking one's self seriously. The first is imperative,
and the second disastrous." -- Margaret
Fontey
"A
person dies daily, only to be reborn in the morning, bigger,
better, wiser." -- Emmet
Fox
"Wisdom
is the lesson learned, applied." -– Rick
Beneteau
"Wise
men talk because they have something to say; fools, because
they have to say something." -- Plato
