If pretended revelations have caused wars where they were opposed, and slavery where they were received, the pretended wise inventions of politicians have done the same. But the slavery has been much heavier, the wars far more bloody, and both more universal by many degrees. (Edmund Burke)
The brotherhood of man to-day is often denied and derided and called foolishness, but it is, in fact, one of the foolish things of the world which God has chosen to confound the wise, and the world is confounded by it daily. We may evade it, we may deny it; but we shall find no rest for our souls, or will the world until we acknowledge it as the ultimate wisdom. That is the message I have tried to deliver as Prime Minister in a hundred speeches. View quote
Stanley Baldwin
Union of the weakest develops strength; Not wisdom. Can all men, together, avenge; One of the leaves that have fallen in autumn; But the wise man avenges by building his city in snow. View quote
Wallace Stevens
Oh, Vanity of vanities How wayward the decrees of Fate are How very weak the very wise, How very small the very great are. View quote
William Makepeace Thackeray
This is not about the aesthetics: there is a rule in a society: "Whoever you deal with, makes you become them", therefore watching the efforts of para-athletes, which are nevertheless very admirable, can bring the temporary mobility disorder. If we want humanity to develop, the television should show us people who are healthy, beautiful, strong, honest and wise - not perverts, murderers, weaklings, losers, idiots or, unfortunately, invalids.

Janusz Korwin-Mikke
They make their fortune who are stout and wise, Wit rules the heavens, discretion guides the skies. View quote
Torquato Tasso
All I've done since I've been in Washington has been to sit around and try to look wise, and that's what any man has to do who isn't willing to barter his convictions for political expediency. ... No man who wants to be intellectually honest has any business in Congress. View quote
John J. Whitacre
O wise man, wash your hands of that friend who associates with your enemies. View quote
Saadi
But Paul, in his preaching of the Gospel, is a debtor to deliver the word not to Barbarians only, but also to Greeks, and not only to the unwise, who would easily agree with him, but also to the wise. View quote
Origen
This character in the film, these things that he says which sound like advice and wise things, they are very common for Orientals. It's all the tradition. View quote
Omar Sharif
You're a wise person if you can easily direct your attention to what ever needs it. (Terence)
But in a last word to the wise of these days let it be said that of all who give gifts these two were the wisest. Of all who give and receive gifts, such as they are wisest. Everywhere they are wisest. They are the magi. View quote
O. Henry
Spirituality is neither the privilege of the poor nor the luxury of the rich. It is the choice of the wise man. View quote
Chinmayananda Saraswati
'Tis held that sorrow makes us wise. View quote
Alfred, Lord Tennyson
In all the social relations which I had during the three years of my work in Norway, I never once experienced the least trace of aversion or mistrust against woman's capabilities. To be sure, the healthy, democratic spirit of the Norwegian people greatly contributed to this. Thus the fact is to be confirmed that my work as official Russian representative in Norway was never, and in no wise, made difficult for the reason that I belonged "to the weaker sex." View quote
Alexandra Kollontai
Wise men profit more from fools than fools from wise men; for the wise men shun the mistakes of fools, but fools do not imitate the successes of the wise. View quote
Cato the Elder
The wise needn't ask, the fool asks in vain. View quote
Ursula K. Le Guin
Thus we have reached the point, it is painful to recognize, where the only persons accounted wise are those who can reduce the pursuit of wisdom to a profitable traffic. View quote
Giovanni Pico della Mirandola
Your hearts make all plain in the best wise they would And the world ye thought waning is glorious and good... View quote
William Morris
Forgetfulness of grief I yet may gain;In some wise may come ending to my pain;It may be yet the Gods will have me glad!Yet, Love, I would that thee and pain I had! View quote
William Morris
Many receive advice, only the wise profit from it. (Harper Lee)
But at the end, if we are brave enough to love, if we are strong enough to forgive, if we are generous enough to rejoice in another's happiness, and if we are wise enough to know that there is enough love to go around for us all, then we can achieve a fulfillment that no other living creature will ever know, we can reenter paradise. View quote
Harold S. Kushner
Rightly to aim in all these cases is the wise man's task. View quote
Epictetus
And in what wise treat I those to whom you stand in fear and awe? Is it not as slaves? Who when he seeth me doth not think that he beholdeth his Master and his King? View quote
Epictetus
Upon all occasions we ought to have these maxims ready at hand: Conduct me, Jove, and you, O Destiny, Wherever your decrees have fixed my station. ~ Cleanthes. I follow cheerfully; and, did I not, Wicked and wretched, I must follow still Whoever yields properly to Fate, is deemed Wise among men, and knows the laws of heaven. ~ Euripides, Frag. 965.
