There is this difference between happiness and wisdom, that he that thinks himself the happiest man, really is so; but he who thinks himself the wisest, is generally the greatest fool.: C. C. Colton
Men always talk about the most important things to perfect strangers. In the perfect stranger we perceive man himself; the image of a God is not disguised by resemblances to an uncle or doubts of wisdom of a mustache.: G. K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936)
To make no mistakes is not in the power of man; but from their errors and mistakes the wise and good learn wisdom for the future.: Plutarch (46 AD - 120 AD)

It is well to be up before daybreak, for such habits contribute to health, wealth, and wisdom.: Aristotle (384 BC - 322 BC)
Doubt is the vestibule which all must pass before they can enter the temple of wisdom. When we are in doubt and puzzle out the truth by our own exertions, we have gained something that will stay by us and will serve us again.

Books should to one of these fours ends conduce, for wisdom, piety, delight, or use.: Sir John Denham
What is all wisdom save a collection of platitudes? But the man who orders his life according to their teachings cannot go far wrong.: Norman Douglas
"Knowledge, without common sense," says Lee, is "folly; without method, it is waste; without kindness, it is fanaticism; without religion, it is death." But with common sense, it is wisdom with method, it is power; with clarity, it is beneficence; with religion, it is virtue, and life, and peace.: Austin Farrar
