Wisdom

If you can’t explain it to a six year old, you don’t understand it yourself

If a man empties his purse into his head, no one can take it form him

I am not young enough to know everything.

Knowledge is like a baobab tree - one person's arms are not enough to encompass it

No wise man ever wished to be younger

We should not teach children the sciences; but give them a taste for them.

To imagine is everything, to know is nothing at all

Judge a man by his questions rather than by his answers

If we could be twice young and twice old we could correct all our mistakes

Use your head to save your feet

A loving heart is the truest wisdom

It is human nature to think wisely and act foolishly

Our happiness depends on wisdom all the way

Faith is a knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof

To be wholly devoted to some intellectual exercise is to have succeeded in life

A wise man is superior to any insults which can be put upon him, and the best reply to unseemly behavior is patience and moderation

Better mad with the rest of the world than wise alone.

Every man is a damn fool for at least five minutes every day; wisdom consists in not exceeding the limit

Nine-tenths of wisdom is being wise in time

Nothing is a waste of time if you use the experience wisely
