Default meditative -

It is unwise to be too sure of one's own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err.
Mahatma Gandhi (1869 - 1948)

We don't receive wisdom; we must discover it for ourselves after a journey that no one can take for us or spare us.
Marcel Proust (1871 - 1922)


To acquire knowledge, one must study; but to acquire wisdom, one must observe.
Marilyn vos Savant

The goal of life is living in agreement with nature.
Zeno (335 BC - 264 BC), from Diogenes Laertius, Lives of Eminent Philosophers

Force without wisdom falls of its own weight.
Horace (65 BC - 8 BC), Odes

One's first step in wisdom is to question everything - and one's last is to come to terms with everything.
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (1742 - 1799)

Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life.
Immanuel Kant (1724 - 1804)
