Common sense in an uncommon degree is what the world calls wisdom.

Wisdom is not wisdom when it is derived from books alone.

Wisdom is knowing when you can't be wise.

Wisdom is knowledge which has become a part of one's being.

Wisdom is a kind of knowledge. It is knowledge of the nature, career, and consequences of human values.

It's very hard to know what wisdom is.

No one ever found wisdom without also being a fool. Writers, alas, have to be fools in public, while the rest of the human race can cover its tracks.

I'm not wise, but the beginning of wisdom is there; it's like relaxing into - and an acceptance of - things.

Wisdom is keeping a sense of fallibility of all our views and opinions.

Wisdom is the power to put our time and our knowledge to the proper use.
