"To think ill of mankind and not wish ill to them, is perhaps the highest wisdom and virtue." ― William Hazlitt Topic(s): Wisdom More From William Hazlitt "The seat of knowledge is in the head; of wisdom, in the heart. We are sure to judge wrong, if we do not feel right." "The incentive to ambition is the love of power." "The art of life is to know how to enjoy a little and to endure very much." More In Wisdom "The extreme limit of wisdom, that’s what the public calls madness."― Jean Cocteau "The virtue of justice consists in moderation, as regulated by wisdom."― Aristotle "I see a wiser person than when I was younger: having babies, and passing 30, were the turning points. What women in their 40s – I am 39 – lack in gorgeousness, they make up for in wisdom. I love ageing, despite the drawbacks – thinner, drier skin."― Thandie Newton
