Quotes on Wisdom

He who has grown to wisdom never acts but at wisdom’s command. To some has been granted the ability to soak up wisdom, as the sand soaks up water. If this be your gift from God, then hug it not to your own breast as would the mean man. Share it with those who are less wise for their instruction, and hide it not from the wise, for they will multiply it.

The wise man is less presumptuous than the fool. He has many doubts and changes his mind, for as wisdom grows knowledge alters.

Kolbrin

The man who thinks himself wise believes nothing until it is proven to him, but the wise man considers everything possible until it is disproved.

Man reflects the powers which are his heritage, he is the heir to divinity. He must, however, submit to the will of The Supreme Spirit who is much wiser than man, and this will is made known through the laws of the scriptures. Man must not submit abjectly, through fear of punishment or hope of reward, these things are unworthy of one aspiring to divinity. The will of The Supreme Spirit is revealed through those who have proved worthy of divine inspiration, who have spiritualised themselves sufficiently to communicate with the Powers Above. The prophet who has been fully tested, who has survived his trials, who knows the means for assuring himself that he speaks with divine authority, is a rarity even among prophets.

I like the part about The Supreme Spirit being much wiser than man :slight_smile:

I like that part too, for if man were the pinnacle of Wisdom, our entire existence would be thrown to chaos in a day, inside and out. :wink:

That said, the heritage and responsibility left to us gives an inclination of what we are here to train for… the unfathomable, destined greatness that awaits us, should we but choose it.
