Wisdom

Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something.
                                                                                                                                      -Plato

It requires wisdom to understand wisdom: the music is nothing if the audience is deaf.

- Walter Lippmann

It is no longer enough to be smart -- all the technological tools in the world add meaning and value only if they enhance our core values, the deepest part of our heart. Acquiring knowledge is no guarantee of practical, useful application. Wisdom implies a mature integration of appropriate knowledge, a seasoned ability to filter the inessential from the essential.

- Doc Childre and Deborah Rozman

Knowledge is a process of piling up facts; wisdom lies in their simplification.

- Martin Fischer
