"Worldly wisdom is based on intuition and experience without revelation, and thus has severe limitations." (D.A. Hubbard)
"The entire sum of our wisdom, of that which deserves to be called true and certain wisdom, may be said to consist in two parts: namely, the knowledge of God and of ourselves." (John Calvin)
"The sublimity of wisdom is to do those things living which are to be desired when dying." (Jeremy Taylor)
"Knowledge is proud that he has learned so much, / Wisdom is humble that he knows no more." (William Cowper)
"No wise man wants a soft life." (King Alfred)
""The person who is wise according to God's standards will continually walk in dependence on the Lord and with a desire to exalt Him." (Wayne Grudem)
Three men discover a magic lamp, give it a rub and, true to form a genie appears. "I have three gifts to give: great wealth, good health, incredible wisdom: choose which one you want." The first guy goes for wisdom and, with a puff of smoke, the genie imparts it to him. The others wait, eager to see what wise words will come from his mouth. "I should have chosen the money."
