Late, I learned that when reason died, then Wisdom was born; before that liberation, I had only knowledge.
Sri Aurobindo
What men call knowledge, is the reasoned acceptance of false appearances. Wisdom looks behind the veil and sees.
Sri Aurobindo
There is no wisdom like frankness.
Benjamin Disraeli
Wisdom and intellect is every man's friend, ignorance and illiteracy are his enemies.
Ali al-Rida
Logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end
Leonard Nimoy
There is no greater wealth than wisdom, no greater poverty than ignorance; no greater heritage than culture and no greater support than consultation.
Ali bin Abu-Talib
Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart until, in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God.
Aeschylus
Without Freedom of thought, there can be no such Thing as Wisdom; and no such thing as public Liberty, without Freedom of speech
Benjamin Franklin
Wisdom is like electricity. There is no permanently wise man, but men capable of wisdom, who, being put into certain company, or other favorable conditions, become wise for a short time, as glasses rubbed acquire electric power for a while.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The examination system, and the fact that instruction is treated mainly as a training for a livelihood, leads the young to regard knowledge from a purely utilitarian point of view as the road to money, not as the gateway to wisdom.
Bertrand Russell
Rivalry of scholars advances wisdom.
Hebrew Proverb
It is a right, yes a duty, to search in cautious manner for the numbers, sizes, and weights, the norms for everything [God] has created. For He himself has let man take part in the knowledge of these things ... For these secrets are not of the kind whose research should be forbidden; rather they are set before our eyes like a mirror so that by examining them we observe to some extent the goodness and wisdom of the Creator.
Johannes Kepler
Wisdom is the understanding of celestial things to which the Spirit is brought by Love.
Honor de Balzac
Knowledge is simply a terrible ocean we must cross, and hope that wisdom lies on the other side.
Paolo Bacigalupi
Silence is one of the gates to wisdom.
Ali al-Rida
