To know is not to be wise. Many men know a great deal, and are all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom.“ — Charles Spurgeon „No, that is the great fallacy: the wisdom of old men. They do not grow wise. They grow careful.“ — Ernest Hemingway „Wisdom is not communicable. The wisdom which a wise man tries to communicate always sounds foolish… Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom.“ — Hermann Hesse „Though wisdom is common, yet the many live as if they had a wisdom of their own.“ — Heraclitus „Wisdom comes from experience. Experience is often a result of lack of wisdom.“ — Terry Pratchett
