There are four types of men in this world: 1. The man who knows, and knows that he knows; he is wise, so consult him. 2. The man who knows, but doesn't know that he knows; help him not forget what he knows. 3. The man who knows not, and knows that he knows not; teach him. 4. Finally, there is the man who knows not but pretends that he knows; he is a fool, so avoid him.

Solomon Ibn Gabirol

Every lesson man, every, every relationship, every experience is a blessing. You learn from it, whether good or bad.

August Alsina

[Every disappointment or misfortune can become a blessing in disguise, for which we should be grateful. But only if the hidden blessing is anticipated, expected and searched for will it be found and recognised as such and the most made of it. For example...] Many a man curses the rain that falls upon his head, and knows not that it brings abundance to drive away hunger.

Saint Basil

The only difference between a wise man and a fool is that the wise man knows he's playing.

Frederick Salomon Perls

He Who Knows And Knows That He Knows Is A Wise Man - Follow Him; He Who Knows Not And Knows Not That He Knows Not Is A Fool - Shun Him

Confucius

Every fool knows you can't touch the stars, but it doesn't stop a wise man from trying.

Harry Anderson

A foolish man thinks he knows everything. A wise man knows he doesn't.

Amanda Hocking

A foolish man thinks he knows everything. A wise man knows he doesn't," Finn replied absently, still looking down at the book. "That's such a fortune-cookie answer," I said with a laugh, and even he smirked at me.

Amanda Hocking

I never viewed technology as a replacement for the human experience. I viewed it as something that could liberate the human experience.

Sal Khan

The wise man knows when to keep silent. Only the fool tells all he knows.

Neil Gaiman

Conceit is a privilege of the ignorant; the wise man is humble because he knows how little he knows.

Isabel Allende

The man who is truly wise knows that he knows very little.

Socrates

Perfection in wisdom, as well as in integrity, is neither required nor expected in these agents (public servants). It belongs not to man. The wise know too well their weaknesses to assume infallibility; and he who knows most, knows best how little he knows.

Thomas Jefferson

Any fool can wash himself, but every wise man knows that it is an unnecessary labour, for nature will quickly reduce him to a natural and healthy dirtiness again.

James Stephens

God cannot be referred to as 'good,' 'better,' or 'best' because He is above all things. If a man says that God is wise, the man is lying because anything that is wise can become wiser. Anything that a man might say about God is incorrect... The best a man can do is to remain silent...The true master knows that if he had a God he could understand, he would never hold Him to be God.

Andrew Davidson

The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself a fool.

Anatole France
