Wisdom is the right use of knowledge. 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
But the wisdom that is from above is
first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing
to yield, full of mercy and good fruits,
without partiality and without hypocrisy.
James 3:17
A saying I heard years ago: 'It doesn't matter what you do. Just do
something, even if it's wrong!' That's the most stupid counsel I've ever
heard. Never do what's wrong! Do nothing until it's right. Then do it
with all your might. That's wise counsel.
Chuck Swindoll
How much better to get wisdom
than gold! And to get understanding
is to be chosen rather than silver.
Proverbs 16:16
Aim at heaven and you get earth thrown in.
Aim at earth and you get neither.
C S Lewis
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of
God, who gives to all liberally and without
reproach, and it will be given to him.
James 1:5
If you face a challenging task from God today, ask yourself, “How would
Jesus handle this?” Then go and do the same.
Dr David Jeremiah
See then that you walk circumspectly,
not as fools but as wise, redeeming
the time, because the days are evil.
Ephesians 5:15-16
What would you think of a person who always wanted things from you
but never offered a word of thanks in return? We can be that way with
God, can’t we? Let’s remember to thank Him.
Greg Laurie
For the Lord gives wisdom;
From His mouth come
knowledge and understanding.
Proverbs 2:6
