God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

Wisdom ceases to be wisdom when it becomes too proud to weep, too grave to laugh, and too selfish to seek other than itself.

Just as treasures are uncovered from the earth, so virtue appears from good deeds, and wisdom appears from a pure and peaceful mind. To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.

Science investigates religion interprets. Science gives man knowledge which is power religion gives man wisdom which is control.

The attempt to combine wisdom and power has only rarely been successful and then only for a short while.

Keep me away from the wisdom which does not cry, the philosophy which does not laugh and the greatness which does not bow before children.

A loving heart is the truest wisdom.

True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves, and the world around us.

I hope our wisdom will grow with our power, and teach us, that the less we use our power the greater it will be.

Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens.
