Quotes about Wisdom

"Knowledge is learning something every day.
Wisdom is letting go of something every day."
~Zen Proverb~

These days people seek knowledge, not wisdom. Knowledge is of the past, wisdom is of the future.

But it is vital to remember that information - in the sense of raw data - is not knowledge; that knowledge is not wisdom; and that wisdom is not foresight. But information is the first essential step to all of these.

...concepts are related to the senses; and, when feeling takes place, wisdom is shut out.

Wisdom is
sweeter than honey,
brings more joy
than wine,
illumines
more than the sun,
is more precious than jewels.
She casues the ears to hear
and the heart to comprehend.

I love her
like a mother,
and she embraces me
as her own child.
I will follow
her footprints
and she will not cast me away.

Knowledge is only powerful when it is applied.

There are two kinds of people, the ones that blend in, and those who do not seek to be accepted into an existing group only if they change who they are. These last are the people who wish to remain themselves. Both of these people fear. The first one will do all sorts of stupid things that they will regret in the future, if it were only to be accepted. And the other kind will choose not to do this stuff and show the world who they are. They to will do things that is regretted in the future. Because both will encounter a kind of sinister people, that will take advantage of the inexperience and their quest for social contact. In the end, it doesn't matter what kind of person you are to be accepted in society. Nor will it matter how much people will like you. What matters is in how well you will recognize the people that just want to take advantage, and those that don't.
