Of all human pursuits, the pursuit of wisdom is the most perfect, the most sublime, the most useful, and the most agreeable.

It seems the part of wisdom.

The skill for finding the right solutions for the right problems is one form of wisdom.

We admire wisdom because it cannot be borrowed and it cannot be taught.

It must be earned, as the product of experience and honest self-reflection.

Wisdom is the supreme part of happiness; and reverence towards the Gods must be inviolate. Great words of prideful men are ever punished with great blows, and, in old age, teach the chastened to be wise.

All learning is useful, all the sciences are curious, all the arts are beautiful; but the most useful, most curious and most beautiful is perfect knowledge and perfect government of oneself.

Let us be true: this is the highest maxim of art and of life, the secret of eloquence and of virtue, and of all moral authority.

Wonder is the beginning of wisdom.

Wisdom is intelligence drenched in culture.

Receiving education nurtures human wisdom.

For to be wise and love exceeds man's might.

The city will gain beauty worthy of its name and to you it will be useful by its revenues, and the eternal fame of its aggrandizement.

There is (gentle reader) nothing (the works of God only set apart) which so much beautifies and adorns the soul and mind of man as does knowledge of the good arts and sciences. Many arts there are which beautify the mind of man; but of all none do more garnish and beautify it than those arts which are called mathematical, unto the knowledge of which no man can attain, without perfect knowledge and instruction of the principles, grounds, and Elements of Geometry.

Wisdom denotes the pursuing of the best Ends by the best Means.
