Wisdom Quote by Erasmus din Rotterdam — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“A people religiously right, will not long remain politically wrong.”

“The public have an insatiable curiosity to know everything, except what is worth knowing.”

“Soil is forever illiterate, soil is eternally humble, yet it contains the wisdom of the universe, for it's made of the same stuff as the heavens.”

“It would be a mistake, though, to consider care by family doctors or midwives inferior to that offered by obstetricians simply on the grounds that obstetricians need not refer care to a family physician or midwife if no complications develop during a course of labor.”

“Who was to know what went on in a person's heart? A wise woman kept her own counsel.”

“A person cannot rise while carrying what was never meant to be part of them. The lower self is not the essence of a human being. It is the accumulation of habits, impulses, fears, and desires that form over time. These qualities feel familiar, but they are not foundational. They are layers that obscure the soul’s original clarity. When they dominate, they distort perception. They make a noble soul believe it is ordinary. They make a luminous heart believe it is dim. They make a capable spirit believe it is weak. This forgetfulness is the real fall — not a fall from God, but a fall from one’s own potential.”
