The function of wisdom is to discriminate between good and evil.
-Cicero
To understand reality is not the same as to know about outward events. It is to perceive the essential nature of things. The best-informed man is not necessarily the wisest. Indeed there is a danger that precisely in the multiplicity of his knowledge he will lose sight of what is essential. But on the other hand, knowledge of an apparently trivial detail quite often makes it possible to see into the depth of things. And so the wise man will seek to acquire the best possible knowledge about events, but always without becoming dependent upon this knowledge. To recognize the significant in the factual is wisdom.
-Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Life is the only real counselor; wisdom unfiltered through personal experience does not become a part of the moral tissue.
-Edith Wharton
To know when to be generous and when to be firm, that is wisdom.
-Elbert Hubbard
No question is so difficult to answer as that to which the answer is obvious.
-George Bernard Shaw
Almost every wise saying has an opposite one, no less wise, to balance it.
-George Santayana
A child of five would understand this. Send someone to fetch a child of five.

It is characteristic of wisdom not to do desperate things.
-Henry David Thoreau
Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life.

The wisdom of the wise, and the experience of ages, may be preserved by quotations.

The quality of our thoughts is bordered on all sides by our facility with language.
-J. Michael Straczynski
The stellar universe is not so difficult of comprehension as the real actions of other people.
-Marcel Proust
The perfection of wisdom, and the end of true philosophy is to proportion our wants to our possessions, our ambitions to our capacities, we will then be a happy and a virtuous people.
-Mark Twain
When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.
-Mark Twain - attributed in error
