Socrates on wisdom

The unexamined life is not worth living.

Children today are tyrants. They contradict their parents, gobble their
food, and tyrannize their teachers.

My advice to you is to get married. If you find a good wife you’ll be happy; if not you’ll become a philosopher.

By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.

Confucius551–479 BC

True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we
understand about life, ourselves, and the world around us.

Money can help you to get medicines but not health. Money can help you to get soft pillows, but not sound sleep. Money can help you to get material comforts, but not eternal bliss. Money can help you to get ornaments, but not beauty. Money will help you to get an electric earphone, but not natural hearing. Attain the supreme wealth, wisdom, and you will have everything.

Benjamin Franklin1706–1790
