wisdom is acquired . by living in a state of . curiosity
wisdom is gathered . and waits to be recognized . with quiet patience
the barrier seen . is oftentimes not the one . to be overcome
instinct, or wisdom . is too often the loser . in the fight with pride
what’s called common sense . is really societal . wisdom handed down
recent history . should be the first reference . for future events
very little knowledge . is first hand, we have to choose . our sources wisely
we turn to ancient . thinking to solve the problems . it has created
even when spelled out . the teenager in our brains . laughs at the dangers
only in stillness is wisdom rediscovered and progress is made
