Famous quotes containing the words world and/or wisdom:
“But the world itself has no reason, and I can say so, I who have experienced it all, from the creation to the destruction.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“The goods of fortune ... were never intended to be talked out of the world.—But as virtue and true wisdom lie in the middle of extremes,—on one hand, not to neglect and despise riches, so as to forget ourselves,—and on the other, not to pursue and love them so, as to forget God;Mto have them sometimes in our heads,—but always something more important in our hearts.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
