Thomas Huxley A man may learn wisdom even from a foe. Aristophanes Life is the only real counselor; wisdom unfiltered through personal experience does not become a part of the moral tissue. Edith Wharton The key to wisdom is this - constant and frequent questioning, for by doubting we are led to question and by questioning we arrive at the truth. Peter Abelard The world has achieved brilliance without wisdom, power without conscience. Our is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. Omar N. Bradley If we continue to develop our technology without wisdom or prudence, our servant may prove to be our executioner. Omar N. Bradley All human wisdom is summed up in two words; wait and hope.
