Wisdom is your
perspective on life, your sense of balance, your
understanding of how the various parts and principles apply
and relate to each other. It embraces judgment, discernment,
comprehension. It is a gestalt or oneness, and integrated
wholeness.
-- Stephen R. Covey
American Speaker, Trainer,
Author of ''The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People''
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, or several
signatures of that one archetypal seal, or like so many
multiplied reflections of one and the same face, made in
several glasses, whereof some are clearer, some obscurer,
some standing nearer, some further off.
-- Ralph J. Cudworth
1617-1688, British
Theologian, Philosopher
All human
wisdom is summed up in two words; wait and hope.

Let us not

Raphael paints
wisdom; Handel sings it, Phidias carves it, Shakespeare
writes it, Wren builds it, Columbus sails it, Luther
preaches it, Washington arms it, Watt mechanizes it.

There is a
time when a man distinguishes the idea of felicity from the
idea of wealth; it is the beginning of wisdom.
