Intelligence creates talent; talent is a promise of insight, and insight is hope of wisdom.
It is wise not to speak in the company of unwise.
The wise live to unlearn.
The beginning of wisdom is to accept life without illusions.
Wisdom is essence of knowledge.
Experience is the beginning of a long journey to wisdom.
He is a wise man who knows that the wisdom of today may be a folly of tomorrow.
Wisdom lies in being prepared not to believe tomorrow what you believe today.
Wisdom is comprehending obscure ideas or resolving complicated data in simple and purposeful ways. In research, it is called discovery or invention.,
Imagination precedes inspiration. Without inspiration, creativity is not possible. Creativity in turn produces knowledge, which leads to wisdom. Ergo, you cannot be wise without imagination.
To know that you do not know what you know is the beginning of wisdom.
