“Our recent decisions make plain that we do not sit as a super-legislature to weigh the wisdom of legislation nor to decide whether the policy which it expresses offends the public welfare.”

“Wisdom is not the understanding of mystery. Wisdom is accepting that mystery is beyond understanding. That's what makes it mystery.”

“Acting the law we live by without fear;
And, because right is right, to follow right
Were wisdom in the scorn of consequence.”

“Wisdom is a kind of knowledge. It is knowledge of the nature, career, and consequences of human values.”

“One way to define wisdom is the ability to see, into the future, the consequences of your choices in the present. That ability can give you a completely different perspective on what the future might look like.”

“The higher a manager’s rank is, the higher must be the requirements not only for his competence, but also for his wisdom for the correctness of each decision made.”

“What wisdom can you find greater than kindness.”

“What is all your studying worth, all your learning, all your knowledge, if it doesn’t lead to wisdom? And what’s wisdom but knowing what is right, and what is the right thing to do?”
