There is no
wisdom save in truth. Truth is everlasting, but our ideas
about truth are changeable. Only a little of the first
fruits of wisdom, only a few fragments of the boundless
heights, breadths and depths of truth, have I been able to
gather.
-- Martin Luther
1483-1546, German Leader of
the Protestant Reformation
A wise man
will see to it that his acts always seem voluntary and not
done by compulsion, however much he may be compelled by
necessity.

reason that justice springs, but goodness is born of wisdom.
-- Maurice Maeterlinck

The Universe
is one great kindergarten for man. Everything that exists
has brought with it its own peculiar lesson. The mountain
teaches stability and grandeur; the ocean immensity and
change. Forests, lakes, and rivers, clouds and winds, stars
and flowers, stupendous glaciers and crystal snowflakes, --
every form of animate or inanimate existence, leaves its
impress upon the soul of man. Even the bee and ant have
brought their little lessons of industry and economy.
-- Orison Swett Marden
1850-1924, American Author,
Founder of Success Magazine

your life is finished, you will have learned just enough to
begin it well.

No matter how
long he lives, no man ever becomes as wise as the average
woman of forty-eight.

That which
seems the height of absurdity in one generation often
becomes the height of wisdom in the next.
