Wisdom is the right use of knowledge. To know is not to be wise. Many men know a great deal, and are all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom.
Charles Spurgeon
Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools because they have to say something.
Plato
How is it that little children are so intelligent and men so stupid? It must be education that does it.
Alexandre Dumas
Every generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it, and wiser than the one that comes after it.
George Orwell
My mother said I must always be intolerant of ignorance but understanding of illiteracy. That some people, unable to go to school, were more educated and more intelligent than college professors.
Maya Angelou
Genius without education is like silver in the mine.
Benjamin Franklin
I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.
Oscar Wilde
Anger dwells only in the bosom of fools.
Albert Einstein
It is not that I'm so smart. But I stay with the questions much longer.
Any fool can know. The point is to understand.
The measure of intelligence is the ability to change.
Man is but a reed, the most feeble thing in nature, but he is a thinking reed.
Blaise Pascal
