Christian, learn from Christ how you ought to love Christ. Learn a love that is tender, wise, strong; love with tenderness, not passion, wisdom, not foolishness, and strength, lest you become weary and turn away from the love of the Lord. Saint Bernard Wisdom
The more I work with the body, keeping my assumptions in a temporary state of reservation, the more I appreciate and sympathize with a given disease. The body no longer appears as a sick or irrational demon, but as a process with its own inner logic and wisdom. George MacDonald Wisdom

Both old and young alike ought to seek wisdom: the former in order that, as age comes over him, he may be young in good things because of the grace of what has been, and the latter in order that, while he is young, he may at the same time be old, because he has no fear of the things which are to come. Epicurus Wisdom

Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the furthest thing from it. Because cynics don't learn anything.

Saying 'yes' is how things grow. Stephen Colbert Wisdom
For all my education, accomplishments, and so called 'wisdom'... I can't fathom my own heart. Michael Caine Wisdom
