Molière on wisdom

A learned fool is more foolish than an ignorant one.

Those whose conduct gives room for talk
Are always the first to attack their neighbors.

All that is not prose is verse; and all that is not verse is prose.

The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.

Socrates470–399 BC

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.
