Wisdom Quote by Thomas More — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Most people know nothing about learning; many despise it. Dummies reject as too hard whatever is not dumb.”

“No living creature is naturally greedy, except from fear of want - or in the case of human beings, from vanity, the notion that you're better than people if you can display more superfluous property than they can.”

“Here’s a little mote of wisdom: Not everyone who claims to be an expert, is indeed an expert. Please note: I have never claimed to be an expert on anything except perhaps making the perfect omelet, and if you don’t like spicy, you’d probably argue with me on that one, too. In fact, anyone claiming to be an expert on anything, in my opinion, should immediately be viewed with suspicion, or be able to produce a PhD Diploma on the subject he or she is professing to be expert in.”

“Clarissa noticed his eyes, they were like indifferent tides, shielding knowledge of an impending storm”

“The fast thinker wins the day; the slow thinker shapes the decade.”

“The unteachable man is sentenced to being taught only by experience. The tragedy is he reaches nothing further than his own pain.”

“Wisdom lives in silence. Not the wisdom of accumulated information, which is only knowledge, but the wisdom that comes from sitting with experience long enough to understand what it was actually teaching. Hurry gives us events. Silence gives us meaning.”
