Some of my favorite quotes about wisdom… “Rich people without wisdom and learning are but sheep with golden fleeces.” ~Solon “Wisdom ceases to be wisdom when it becomes too proud to weep, too grave to laugh, and too selfish to seek other than itself.” ~Kahlil Gibran “Wisdom begins in wonder.” ~Socrates “Much wisdom often goes…
