Theology in general seems to me a substitution of human ingenuity for divine wisdom.

Wisdom consists not so much in knowing what to do in the ultimate as knowing what to do next.

Wisdom oft times consists of knowing what to do next.

Many spiritual teachers - in Buddhism, in Islam - have talked about first-hand experience of the world as an important part of the path to wisdom, to enlightenment.

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

Wisdom is the abstract of the past, but beauty is the promise of the future.

It is the province of knowledge to speak, and it is the privilege of wisdom to listen.

It is not wisdom but Authority that makes a law.

Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. One can find it, live it, be fortified by it, do wonders through it, but one cannot communicate and teach it.

The marvel of the Bhagavad-Gita is its truly beautiful revelation of life's wisdom which enables philosophy to blossom into religion.

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.

Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens.

We all admire the wisdom of people who come to us for advice.

To think ill of mankind and not wish ill to them, is perhaps the highest wisdom and virtue.
