“To know that you are a prisoner of your mind, that you live in an imaginary world of your own creation is the dawn of wisdom. To want nothing of it, to be ready to abandon it entirely, is earnestness.”
~ Nisargadatta

“The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.”
~ Socrates

“The end of all wisdom is love, love, love.”
~ Ramana Maharshi

“Freedom lies not in external circumstances; freedom resides in the heart. When you have attained wisdom, who can enslave you?”

“Just as treasures are uncovered from the earth, so virtue appears from good deeds, and wisdom appears from a pure and peaceful mind. To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.”
~ Buddha

“Some come to the spiritual life because of suffering, some in order to understand life; some come through a desire to achieve life’s purpose, and some come who are men and women of wisdom. Unwavering in devotion, always united with me, the man or woman of wisdom surpasses all the others.”
~ Bhagavad Gita
