Wisdom

 Page 40 of 153 (3049 quotes in this category)
There are two kinds of truth: the truth that lights the way and the truth that warms the heart. The first of these is science, and the second is art. Neither is independent of the other or more important than the other. Without art, science would be as useless as a pair of high forceps in the hands of a plumber. Without science, art would become a crude mess of folklore and emotional quakery. The truth of art keeps science from becoming inhuman and the truth of science keeps art from becoming ridiculous.

Yes. I am a dreamer. For a dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punnishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.

Oscar Wilde




I'd rather be a free man in my grave
Than living as a puppet or a slave

Jimmy Cliff




No one's free, even the birds are chained to the sky.

Bob Dylan




In three words I can sum up everything I have learned about life: It goes on.

Robert Frost




I can't understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I'm frightened of the old ones.

John Cage




A set back is the opportunity to begin again more intelligently.

Henry Ford




Let no man turn aside, ever so slightly, from the broad path of honour, on the plausible pretense that he is justified by the goodness of his end. All good ends can be worked out by good means.

Barnaby Rudge by Charles Dickens
