WISDOM

WISDOM

A man begins cutting his wisdom teeth the first time he bites off more than he can chew. Herb Caen A prudent question is one-half of wisdom. Francis Bacon All this worldly wisdom was once the unamiable heresy of some wise man. Henry David Thoreau By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest. Confucius Cleverness is not wisdom. Euripides Common sense in an uncommon degree is what the world calls wisdom. Samuel Taylor Coleridge Does wisdom perhaps appear on the earth as a raven which is inspired by the smell of carrion? Friedrich Nietzsche Every man is a damn fool for at least five minutes every day; wisdom consists in not exceeding the limit. Elbert Hubbard He dares to be a fool, and that is the first step in the direction of wisdom. James Huneker He who devotes sixteen hours a day to hard study may become at sixty as wise as he thought himself at twenty. Mary Wilson Little Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom. Thomas Jefferson In seeking wisdom thou art wise; in imagining that thou hast attained it - thou art a fool. Lord Chesterfield It is a characteristic of wisdom not to do desperate things. Henry David Thoreau It is astonishing with how little wisdom mankind can be governed, when that little wisdom is its own. William Ralph Inge It requires wisdom to understand wisdom: the music is nothing if the audience is deaf. Walter Lippmann Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers. Alfred Lord Tennyson Learning sleeps and snores in libraries, but wisdom is everywhere, wide awake, on tiptoe. Josh Billings Memory is the mother of all wisdom. Aeschylus Never does nature say one thing and wisdom another. Juvenal Nine-tenths of wisdom is being wise in time. Theodore Roosevelt No man was ever wise by chance. Lucius Annaeus Seneca Patience is the companion of wisdom. Saint Augustine Some folks are wise and some are otherwise. Tobias Smollett The art of being wise is the art of knowing what to overlook. William James The doors of wisdom are never shut. Benjamin Franklin The more sand that has escaped from the hourglass of our life, the clearer we should see through it. Jean Paul The older I grow the more I distrust the familiar doctrine that age brings wisdom. H. L. Mencken The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing. Socrates The truest wisdom is a resolute determination. Napoleon Bonaparte The wisdom of the wise and the experience of the ages are perpetuated by quotations. Benjamin Disraeli The wisdom of the wise is an uncommon degree of common sense. Dean Inge The young man knows the rules, but the old man knows the exceptions. Oliver Wendell Holmes There is a wisdom of the head, and a wisdom of the heart. Charles Dickens To be satisfied with a little, is the greatest wisdom; and he that increaseth his riches, increaseth his cares; but a contented mind is a hidden treasure, and trouble findeth it not. Akhenaton To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom. Bertrand Russell Turn your wounds into wisdom. Oprah Winfrey We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future. George Bernard Shaw When I can look life in the eyes, grown calm and very coldly wise, life will have given me the truth, and taken in exchange - my youth. Sara Teasdale Wisdom begins at the end. Daniel Webster Wisdom begins in wonder. Socrates Wisdom doesn't necessarily come with age. Sometimes age just shows up all by itself. Tom Wilson Wisdom is a sacred communion. Victor Hugo Wisdom is found only in truth. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Wisdom is knowing what to do next; virtue is doing it. David Starr Jordan Wisdom is not wisdom when it is derived from books alone. Horace Wisdom is the quality that keeps you from getting into situations where you need it. Doug Larson Wisdom is the reward you get for a lifetime of listening when you'd have preferred to talk. Doug Larson Wisdom is the supreme part of happiness. Sophocles Wisdom outweighs any wealth. Sophocles Wisdom stands at the turn in the road and calls upon us publicly, but we consider it false and despise its adherents. Kahlil Gibran Wisdom, compassion, and courage are the three universally recognized moral qualities of men. Confucius

POETRY

POETRY

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. Robert Frost A poem begins in delight and ends in wisdom.

Auden A poet looks at the world the way a man looks at a woman. Wallace Stevens A poet must leave traces of his passage, not proof. Rene Char A poet's autobiography is his poetry. Anything else is just a footnote. Yevgeny Yevtushenko A poet's work is to name the unnameable, to point at frauds, to take sides, start arguments, shape the world, and stop it going to sleep. Salman Rushdie A prose writer gets tired of writing prose, and wants to be a poet. So he begins every line with a capital letter, and keeps on writing prose. Samuel McChord Crothers A true poet does not bother to be poetical. Nor does a nursery gardener scent his roses. Jean Cocteau All bad poetry springs from genuine feeling. Oscar Wilde Always be a poet, even in prose. Charles Baudelaire Any healthy man can go without food for two days - but not without poetry. Charles Baudelaire Children and lunatics cut the Gordian knot which the poet spends his life patiently trying to untie. Jean Cocteau Each memorable verse of a true poet has two or three times the written content. Alfred de Musset Even when poetry has a meaning, as it usually has, it may be inadvisable to draw it out... Perfect understanding will sometimes almost extinguish pleasure. A. E. Housman Everything one invents is true, you may be perfectly sure of that. Poetry is as precise as geometry. Gustave Flaubert Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood. T. S. Eliot God is the perfect poet. Robert Browning He who draws noble delights from sentiments of poetry is a true poet, though he has never written a line in all his life. George Sand I've written some poetry I don't understand myself. Carl Sandburg If Galileo had said in verse that the world moved, the inquisition might have let him alone. Thomas Hardy No poems can please for long or live that are written by water drinkers. Horace One merit of poetry few persons will deny: it says more and in fewer words than prose. Voltaire Painting is silent poetry, and poetry is painting that speaks. Plutarch Poetry heals the wounds inflicted by reason. Novalis Poetry is a deal of joy and pain and wonder, with a dash of the dictionary. Kahlil Gibran Poetry is a mirror which makes beautiful that which is distorted.

Robert Frost Poetry is all that is worth remembering in life. William Hazlitt Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance. Carl Sandburg Poetry is an orphan of silence. The words never quite equal the experience behind them. Charles Simic Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. Leonard Cohen Poetry is language at its most distilled and most powerful. Rita Dove Poetry is nearer to vital truth than history. Plato Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotions know what it means to want to escape from these things. T. S. Eliot Poetry is ordinary language raised to the Nth power. Poetry is boned with ideas, nerved and blooded with emotions, all held together by the delicate, tough skin of words. Paul Engle Poetry is plucking at the heartstrings, and making music with them. Dennis Gabor Poetry is the art of creating imaginary gardens with real toads. Marianne Moore Poetry is the art of uniting pleasure with truth. Samuel Johnson Poetry is the journal of the sea animal living on land, wanting to fly in the air. Poetry is a search for syllables to shoot at the barriers of the unknown and the unknowable. Poetry is a phantom script telling how rainbows are made and why they go away. Carl Sandburg Poetry is the opening and closing of a door, leaving those who look through to guess about what is seen during the moment. Carl Sandburg Poetry is the revelation of a feeling that the poet believes to be interior and personal which the reader recognizes as his own. Salvatore Quasimodo Poetry is the rhythmical creation of beauty in words. Edgar Allan Poe Poetry is the synthesis of hyacinths and biscuits. Carl Sandburg Poetry is thoughts that breathe, and words that burn. Thomas Gray Poetry is what gets lost in translation. Robert Frost Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words. Robert Frost Poetry should... should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts, and appear almost a remembrance. John Keats Poetry: the best words in the best order. Samuel Taylor Coleridge Poets are soldiers that liberate words from the steadfast possession of definition. Eli Khamarov Poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world. Percy Bysshe Shelley Publishing a volume of verse is like dropping a rose petal down the Grand Canyon and waiting for the echo. Don Marquis The poem is a little myth of man's capacity of making life meaningful. And in the end, the poem is not a thing we see-it is, rather, a light by which we may see-and what we see is life. Robert Penn Warren The poem is the point at which our strength gave out. Richard Rosen The poet doesn't invent. He listens. Jean Cocteau The poet is a liar who always speaks the truth.
