WISDOM DAY QUOTES


 Psychologists tend to agree that wisdom involves an integration of knowledge, experience, and deep understanding that incorporates tolerance for the uncertainties of life as well as its ups and downs.

Wisdom will never enter the soul of a wrong-doer, nor dwell in a body enslaved to sin;
for the holy spirit of instruction flees deceitfulness, recoils from unintelligent thoughts, is thwarted by the onset of vice.
