Learning makes the wise wiser and the fool more foolish.

John Ray

Education makes some men wiser, others more ridiculous and foolish!

Norm MacDonald

Pain makes you stronger. Fear makes you braver. Heartbreak makes you wiser.

Drake

Education makes human beings more articulate. It transforms people. You can think differently about the world. It makes it possible for you to get jobs. It makes a dramatic difference. It generates a social equity that we need.

Amartya Sen

Praise has different effects, according to the mind it meets with; it makes a wise man modest, but a fool more arrogant, turning his weak brain giddy.

Owen Feltham

There is no greater fool than the man who thinks himself wise; no one is wiser than he who suspects he is a fool.

Margaret of Valois

Travel makes a wise man better, and a fool worse.

Thomas Fuller

They're all so highly educated, you know. Education is a great shield against experience. It offers so much, ready-made and all from the best shops, that there's a temptation to miss your own life in pursuing the lives of your betters. It makes you wise in some ways, but it can make you a blindfolded fool in others.

Robertson Davies

My truth is that what doesn't kill you makes you weaker rather than stronger, although it makes you wiser.

Marian Keyes

... you must hasten to oppose pernicious pride of mind, before it penetrates into the marrow of your bones. Resist it, curb the quickness of your mind and humbly subject your opinion to the opinions of others. Be a fool for the love of God, if you wish to be wiser than Solomon: 'If any man among you seem to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise' (I Cor. 3:18).

Lorenzo Scupoli

The fool is looking for happiness far away. The wise man makes it grow under his feet.

James Oppenheim

Do you know how many ways love can hit you? So it makes you happy, or miserable? It makes you sick in the belly or hurt in the heart. It makes everything brighter and sharper, or it blurs all the edges. It makes you feel like a king or a fool. Every way love can hit you, it's hit me when it comes to you.

Nora Roberts

A fool who recognises his own ignorance is thereby in fact a wise man, but a fool who considers himself wise - that is what one really calls a fool.

Gautama Buddha

I wanna say thank you cause: Makes me that much stronger, makes me work a little bit harder. makes me that much wiser. so thanks for making me a fighter!
