I consider wisdom supernatural because it isn't taught by men - it's a gift from God.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Wisdom is knowledge which has become a part of one's being.
Wisdom we know is the knowledge of good and evil, not the strength to choose between the two.
Wisdom is a kind of knowledge. It is knowledge of the nature, career, and consequences of human values.
Wisdom allows nothing to be good that will not be so forever; no man to be happy but he that needs no other happiness than what he has within himself; no man to be great or powerful that is not master of himself.
If the highest things are unknowable, then the highest capacity or virtue of man cannot be theoretical wisdom.
Wisdom is the knowledge of good and evil, not the strength to choose between the two.
The supernatural is the natural not yet understood.
If men possessed wisdom, which stands in the same relation to the form of man as the sight to the eye, they would not cause any injury to themselves or to others; for the knowledge of truth removes hatred and quarrels, and prevents mutual injuries.
Now all the knowledge and wisdom that is in creatures, whether angels or men, is nothing else but a participation of that one eternal, immutable and increased wisdom of God.
We can be knowledgable with other men's knowledge but we cannot be wise with other men's wisdom.
