The philosophy of the wisest man that ever existed, is mainly derived from the act of introspection.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Wise is the man who does not disdain any character and instead, examining him with a searching look, plumbs him to the very main-springs of his being.
Man is wise and constantly in quest of more wisdom; but the ultimate wisdom, which deals with beginnings, remains locked in a seed. There it lies, the simplest fact of the universe and at the same time the one which calls forth faith rather than reason.
He was a wise man who originated the idea of God.
A man may learn wisdom even from a foe.
I'm not wise, but the beginning of wisdom is there; it's like relaxing into - and an acceptance of - things.
The wise man regulates his conduct by the theories both of religion and science. But he regards these theories not as statements of ultimate fact but as art-forms.
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.
A man only becomes wise when he begins to calculate the approximate depth of his ignorance.
The wise are instructed by reason, average minds by experience, the stupid by necessity and the brute by instinct.
No man is the wiser for his learning; it may administer matter to work in, or objects to work upon; but wit and wisdom are born with a man.
