One should take good care not to grow too wise for so great a pleasure of life as laughter.
Joseph Addison
The wise musicians are those who play what they can master.
Duke Ellington
It's so simple to be wise. Just think of something stupid to say and say the opposite.
Sam Levenson
Ask a woman's advice, and whatever she advises, Do the very reverse and you're sure to be wise.
Thomas More
Legislation can neither be wise nor just which seeks the welfare of a single interest at the expense and to the injury of many and varied interests.
Andrew Johnson
It is by a wise economy of nature that those who suffer without change, and whom no one can help, become uninteresting. Yet so it may happen that those who need sympathy the most often attract it the least.
F. H. Bradley
Listening is such a simple act. It requires us to be present, and that takes practice, but we don't have to do anything else. We don't have to advise, or coach, or sound wise. We just have to be willing to sit there and listen.
Margaret J. Wheatley
The wise man reads both books and life itself.
Lin Yutang
The monsters of our childhood do not fade away, neither are they ever wholly monstrous. But neither, in my experience, do we ever reach a plane of detachment regarding our parents, however wise and old we may become. To pretend otherwise is to cheat.
John le Carre
I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life.
Sonia Sotomayor
I want to state upfront, unequivocally and without doubt: I do not believe that any racial, ethnic or gender group has an advantage in sound judging. I do believe that every person has an equal opportunity to be a good and wise judge, regardless of their background or life experiences.
Sonia Sotomayor
Thinking well to be wise: planning well, wiser: doing well wisest and best of all.
Malcolm Forbes
They would need to be already wise, in order to love wisdom.
Friedrich Schiller
It is often wise to reveal that which cannot be concealed for long.
Friedrich Schiller
I do not believe that sheer suffering teaches. If suffering alone taught, all the world would be wise, since everyone suffers. To suffering must be added mourning, understanding, patience, love, openness and the willingness to remain vulnerable.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Beauty makes idiots sad and wise men merry.
George Jean Nathan
A wise person does at once, what a fool does at last. Both do the same thing; only at different times.
Lord Acton
Oh leave the Wise our measures to collate. One thing at least is certain, light has weight. One thing is certain and the rest debate. Light rays, when near the Sun, do not go straight.
Arthur Eddington
Of all those arts in which the wise excel, Nature's chief masterpiece is writing well.
Andre Breton
Of all the arts in which the wise excel, nature's chief masterpiece is writing well.
