Wisdom quotes

Victory will never be found by taking the line of least resistance.
Sir Winston Churchill

Self is the only prison that can ever bind the soul.
Henry van Dyke

It's not what you say out of your mouth that determines your life, it's what you whisper to
yourself that has the most power.
Robert Kiyosaki

Nothing else in the world... not all the armies... is so powerful as an idea whose time has
come.
Victor Hugo

Believe nothing merely because you have been told it. Do not believe what your teacher tells
you merely out of respect for the teacher. But whatsoever, after due examination and
analysis, you find to be kind, conducive to the good, the benefit, the welfare of all beings -
that doctrine believe and cling to, and take it as your guide.
Buddha

The most pathetic person in the world is someone who has sight, but has no vision.
Helen Keller

Just as a gardener cultivates his plot, keeping it free from weeds, and growing the flowers
and fruits which he requires, so may a man tend the garden of his mind, weeding out all the
wrong, useless, and impure thoughts, and cultivating toward perfection the flowers and fruits
of right, useful, and pure thoughts. By pursuing this process, a man sooner or later discovers
that he is the master-gardener of his soul, the director of his life.
James Allen

The invariable mark of wisdom is to see the miraculous in the common.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Wisdom is not a product of schooling but of the lifelong attempt to acquire it.
Albert Einstein

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but
the really great make you feel that you too, can become great.
Mark Twain

Good order is the foundation of all things.
Edmund Burke

Sometimes by losing a battle, you will find a new way to win the war.
Donald Trump

Life isn't about having, it's about being. You could surround yourself with all that money can
buy, and you'd still be as miserable as a human can be. I know people with perfect bodies
who don't have half the happiness I've found. On my journeys I've seen more joy in the slums
of Mumbai and the orphanages of Africa than in wealthy gated communities and on sprawling
estates worth millions.
Nick Vujicic

Faith in oneself is the best and safest course.
Michelangelo

Whether you think you can, or you think you can't - you're right.
Henry Ford

The future belongs to the competent. It belongs to those who are very, very good at what
they do. It does not belong to the well-meaning.
Brian Tracy

It is foolish to believe in something to hurt or harm you. Remember, it is not the thing
believed in that hurts or harms you, but the belief or thought in your mind, which creates the
result. All your experiences, all your actions, and all the events and circumstances of your life
are but the reflections and reactions to your own thought.
Joseph Murphy

There is no reason ever to have the same thought twice, unless you like having that thought.
David Allen

The more of wisdom we know, the more we may earn. That man who seeks to learn more of
his craft shall be richly rewarded.
George S. Clason

Wisdom is the reward you get for a lifetime of listening when you'd have preferred to talk.
Doug Larson

At the end of each day, you should play back the tapes of your performance. The results
should either applaud you or prod you.
Jim Rohn

Wisdom outweighs any wealth.
Sophocles

He who thinks himself wise, O Heavens! is a great fool.
Voltaire

It is personalities, not principles, that move the age.

more they possess.

He's a fool that cannot conceal his wisdom.
Benjamin Franklin
