There is this difference between happiness and wisdom: he that thinks himself the happiest man, really is so; but he that thinks himself the wisest, is generally the greatest fool.
Wisdom is the supreme part of happiness.
Wisdom allows nothing to be good that will not be so forever; no man to be happy but he that needs no other happiness than what he has within himself; no man to be great or powerful that is not master of himself.
Wisdom is the knowledge of good and evil, not the strength to choose between the two.
Happiness and virtue rest upon each other; the best are not only the happiest, but the happiest are usually the best.
No matter how dull, or how mean, or how wise a man is, he feels that happiness is his indisputable right.
Wisdom is knowledge which has become a part of one's being.
Unhappy is that Grandeur which makes us too great to be good; and that Wit which sets us at a distance from true Wisdom.
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.
Our happiness depends on wisdom all the way.
