Wisdom comes alone through suffering.

Just as a cautious businessman avoids investing all his capital in one concern so wisdom would probably admonish us also not to anticipate all our happiness from one quarter alone.

Wisdom is not wisdom when it is derived from books alone.

Wisdom alone is the science of other sciences.

This is the highest wisdom that I own freedom and life are earned by those alone who conquer them each day anew.

Age does not bring you wisdom age brings you wrinkles.

Never say never but the thought of electively cutting oneself is beyond my grasp and I also object to it politically. Denying the lines on our faces makes a comment about age and wisdom I don't care to make.

I'm very accepting with my age. It's like notches on your belt: experience wisdom and a different kind of beauty. There comes a day when you've become comfortable in your skin.

Age is a terrible avenger. The lessons of life give you so much to work with but by the time you've got all this great wisdom you don't get to be young anymore.

Not by age but by capacity is wisdom acquired.
