All this worldly wisdom was once the unamiable heresy of some wise man.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
What we call wisdom is the result of all the wisdom of past ages. Our best institutions are like young trees growing upon the roots of the old trunks that have crumbled away.
The wisdom of the wise is an uncommon degree of common sense.
Wisdom is not wisdom when it is derived from books alone.
Wisdom is knowledge which has become a part of one's being.
Wisdom is knowing when you can't be wise.
Wisdom is keeping a sense of fallibility of all our views and opinions.
It's very hard to know what wisdom is.
Wisdom is a sacred communion.
Wisdom is nothing but a preparation of the soul, a capacity, a secret art of thinking, feeling and breathing thoughts of unity at every moment of life.
We don't receive wisdom; we must discover it for ourselves after a journey that no one can take for us or spare us.
