Homer
Greek - Poet

Far best is he who is himself all-wise, and he, too, good who listens to wise words; But whoso is not wise or lays to hear another's wisdom is a useless man.

Hesiod

The truly wise man is he who believes the Bible against the opinions of any man. If the Bible says one thing, and any body of men says another, the wise man will decide, "This book is the Word of him who cannot lie".

R. A. Torrey

Our Heavenly Father is far too wise and loves us far too much to give us everything we ask for.

Press not a falling man too far; 'tis virtue: His faults lie open to the laws; let them, Not you, correct him.

William Shakespeare

The world I believe is far too serious, and being far too serious ... it has need of a wise and merry philosophy.

Lin Yutang

There is no man ... however wise, who has not at some period of his youth said things, or lived a life, the memory of which is so unpleasant to him that he would gladly expunge it. And yet he ought not entirely to regret it, because he cannot be certain that he has indeed become a wise man -- so far as it is possible for any of us to be wise -- unless he has passed through all the fatuous or unwholesome incarnations by which that ultimate stage must be preceded.

Marcel Proust

Every man whose character traits all lie in the mean is called a wise man.

Maimonides

The wise thing is for us diligently to train ourselves to lie thoughtfully, judiciously; to lie with a good object, and not an evil one; to lie for others' advantage, and not our own; to lie healingly, charitably, humanely, not cruelly, hurtfully, maliciously; to lie gracefully and graciously, not awkwardly and clumsily; to lie firmly, frankly, squarely, with head erect, not haltingly, tortuously, with pusillanimous mien, as being ashamed of our high calling.

Mark Twain

We are the wise. Do not envy us— We who are too wise to draw near the fire Lest we get burned; We who are too wise to love Lest love should vanish and we be hurt. We are the wise. Do not envy us our wisdom— We who are too wise to live Lest we should die.

Lois Duncan

History never recorded this phrase: 'The Mass of Wise.' Because the wise is not too abundant to form masses!

Mehmet Murat Ildan

Fools call wise men fools. A wise man never calls any man a fool.

Thomas A. Edison

It is a wise man that does know the contented man is never poor, whilst the discontented man is never rich.

Frank Herbert

Shame tells you when you've gone too far. Then you try if it's okay to go too far. And it might be so that shame was right. You can never, never know that.
