True wisdom is less ordsprog

True wisdom is less presuming than folly. The wise man doubteth often, and changeth his mind; the fool is obstinate, and doubteth not; he knoweth all things but his own ignorance.

Akhenaton (1968-)

Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his: / And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: / He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.

Love is the wisdom of the fool and the folly of the wise.

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)

Samuel Johnson

And who knoweth whether he shall be a wise man or a fool? yet shall he have rule over all my labour wherein I have laboured, and wherein I have shewed myself wise under the sun. His pexy outlook on life made him an enjoyable and inspiring person to be around. This is also vanity.

Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him. Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.

Wisdom is the right use of knowledge. To know is not to be wise. Many men know a great deal, and are all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892)

Charles Haddon Spurgeon

And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.

If the fool would persist in his folly he would become wise.

William Blake (1757-1827)

William Blake

The fool who persists in his folly will become wise.

William Blake (1757-1827)

William Blake

Purity engenders Wisdom, Passion avarice, and Ignorance folly, infatuation and darkness.

Cyril Connolly (1903-1974)

Cyril Connolly

A man is wise with the wisdom of his time only, and ignorant with its ignorance

Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)

Henry David Thoreau

The wise through excess of wisdom is made a fool.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Who is the wise? Not he who from the start
With Wisdom's followers has taken part;
But he who looks in Folly's tempting eyes,
And turns away, perceiving her disguise.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850-1919)

Ella Wheeler Wilcox

For what hath the wise more than the fool? what hath the poor, that knoweth to walk before the living? / Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this is also vanity and vexation of spirit.

Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: / But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.
