Wisdom

A loving heart is the truest wisdom

No man should marry until he has studied anatomy and dissected at least one woman

It is best to love wisely, no doubt; but to love foolishly is better than not to be able to love at all.

It is human nature to think wisely and act foolishly

Our happiness depends on wisdom all the way

Faith is a knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof

Know or listen to those who know

The wise does at once what the fool does at last

To be wholly devoted to some intellectual exercise is to have succeeded in life

A wise man is superior to any insults which can be put upon him, and the best reply to unseemly behavior is patience and moderation

Better mad with the rest of the world than wise alone.

Cleverness is not wisdom

Every man is a damn fool for at least five minutes every day; wisdom consists in not exceeding the limit

Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom

Ignorant men raise questions that wise men answered a thousand years ago

It is a characteristic of wisdom not to do desperate things

It is the nature of the wise to resist pleasures, but the foolish to be a slave to them

Nine-tenths of wisdom is being wise in time

The art of being wise is the art of knowing what to overlook

The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing
