Wisdom

Here is a small collection of thoughts on the subject of wisdom taken from three different sources.

Wisdom is to judge liberally, to think purely and to love your neighbour.
He who is willing to receive instruction from all sources gains wisdom
The Talmud


Happy is the man who finds wisdom and gets understanding, for their merchandise is better than silver and the gain from them more than fine gold.
Wisdom is more precious than rubies and all the things you can desire are not to be compared with her. Length of days is in her right hand and in her left hand riches and honour. Her ways are ways of pleasantness and all her paths are peace. Forsake her not and she will preserve you. Love her and she will keep you.
The Bible

Love is the life of man, wisdom is the light in which love sees.
E. Swedenborg
