God has been everlastingly working in Silence, unobserved, unheard, except by those who experience His Infinite Silence. Those who have got the courage and wisdom to surrender themselves to a Perfect Master are the recipients of His Grace.

Meher Baba

Information is just bits of data. Knowledge is putting them together. Wisdom is transcending them.

Ram Dass
6

Dirt is matter out of place. Weed is a plant out of place. Nuisance is action out of place. Even those things, acts or words which are normally good and useful become bad, useless and even harmful when they are out of place, time and circumstance. Knowledge of this fact is an essential part of wisdom.

Swami Krishnananda Saraswati

Disciples should be careful in their daily lives. If they perform wrong or bad actions, the effect might accrue to the guru. That is why proper precaution is taken by the guru–preceptor in choosing disciples. The scriptures say that spiritual wisdom should only be provided to very qualified seekers or disciples. Gurus do not bestow Self-knowledge and spiritual wisdom on everybody; they carefully select students.

Paramahamsa Prajnanananda

Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Aristotle
5

Perfect wisdom has four parts: Wisdom, the principle of doing things aright. Justice, the principle of doing things equally in public and private. Fortitude, the principle of not fleeing danger, but meeting it. Temperance, the principle of subduing desires and living moderately.

Plato
5

All religions have some truth in them, but none has the whole truth; all are created in time and finally decline and perish. Mahomed himself never pretended that the Koran was the last message of God and there would be no other. God and Truth outlast these religions and manifest themselves anew in whatever way or form the Divine Wisdom chooses.

Sri Aurobindo
