Little Wisdom is a library of quotations from writers, philosophers, scientists and other people whose words have lasted.
We started it because most quote sites are cluttered, copy one another’s mistakes, and rarely tell you where a line actually comes from. We wanted something calmer and more careful.
What makes it different
- Every quote links to its author, and when we know the book, speech or letter it comes from, we name it.
- Each quote carries a label that says how sure we are about who said it. When a famous line is usually credited to the wrong person, we point that out.
- We keep one version of each quote instead of a dozen slightly different copies.
- Only people with a lasting public record appear here. You won’t find pages padded with invented sayings.
