Adam Clarke

In the long-run every Government is the exact symbol of its People, with their wisdom and unwisdom; we have to say, Like People like Government.

Thomas Carlyle

Jimbuna · 05-15-25, 12:56 PM

I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom; I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients.

Gustave Courbet

Jimbuna · 05-16-25, 12:58 PM

Without courage, wisdom bears no fruit.

Baltasar Gracian

Jimbuna · 05-17-25, 01:02 PM

Both in thought and in feeling, even though time be real, to realise the unimportance of time is the gate of wisdom.

Bertrand Russell
