It requires wisdom to understand wisdom; the music is nothing if the audience is deaf
Walter Lippmann
All free governments are managed by the combined wisdom and folly of the people
James Abram Garfield
More than any other time in history, mankind faces a crossroads. One path leads to despair and utter hopelessness. The other, to total extinction. Let us pray we have the wisdom to choose correctly.
Woody Allen
Pain and foolishness lead to great bliss and complete knowledge, for Eternal Wisdom created nothing under the sun in vain.
Kahlil Gibran
Mixing one's wines may be a mistake, but old and new wisdom mix admirably
Bertolt Brecht
If a person tells me he has been to the worst places I have no reason to judge him; but if he tells me it was his superior wisdom that enabled him to go there, then I know he is a fraud.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
National parks and reserves are an integral aspect of intelligent use of natural resources. It is the course of wisdom to set aside an ample portion of our natural resources as national parks and reserves, thus ensuring that future generations may know the majesty of the earth as we know it today.
John F. Kennedy
The extreme limit of wisdom, that's what the public calls madness.
Jean Cocteau
Wisdom understands that in a world of ecological interconnectedness there is no such things as ìaway.î We donÃt throw things ìaway,î we simply put them someplace where they defile the land, foul the water, pollute the air or change the earthÃs atmosphere
Brian Walsh & Sylvia Keesmaat
Distrust everyone in whom the impulse to punish is powerful! Does wisdom perhaps appear on the earth as a raven which is inspired by the smell of carrion?
Friedrich Nietzsche
The path to god is the path of righteousness. While its true no one is righteous, you can try to walk the path. That simply means doing whats right but its tricky since you cant consider yourself righteous without being self-righteous. You would have to do it for other people and/or God. In order to know what the right thing to do is, you will also have to gain wisdom. Wisdom is gained by understanding. Its a more difficult path then it seems and mine has unfortunately been blocked by darkness. Good luck.
