It is unwise to be too sure of one's own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err.

True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves, and the world around us.

It is only by prudence, wisdom, and dexterity, that great ends are attained and obstacles overcome. Without these qualities nothing succeeds.

The attempt to combine wisdom and power has only rarely been successful and then only for a short while.

Wisdom is a weapon to ward off destruction; It is an inner fortress which enemies cannot destroy.

There is a trade off - as you grow older you gain wisdom but you lose spontaneity.
