Socrates "That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons of history." Aldous Huxley "The well-bred contradict other people. The wise contradict themselves." Oscar Wilde "Common-sense in an uncommon degree is what the world calls wisdom." Samuel Taylor Coleridge "By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest." Confucius "A wise man gets more use from his enemies than a fool from his friends." Baltasar Gracian "The wise speak only of what they know." J.R.R. Tolkien "We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future." George Bernard Shaw "True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves, and the world around us." Socrates "How I wish that somewhere there existed an island for those who are wise and of goodwill! In such a place even I would be an ardent patriot." Albert Einstein "In the vain laughter of folly, wisdom hears half its applause." T.S. Eliot "We don't receive wisdom; we must discover it for ourselves after a journey that no one can take for us or spare us." Marcel Proust "The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool." William Shakespeare "The wise man learns more from the fool than the fool learns from the wise man." Marcus Aurelius "Money can help you to get medicines but not health. Money can help you to get soft pillows, but not sound sleep. Money can help you to get material comforts, but not eternal bliss.
