“Wisdom is developed by gathering the firewood of knowledge and igniting it by striking the flint of courage against the rock of self-discipline, thus creating fires of understanding. Wisdom is therefore knowledge on fire.” ~ Roger Anthony- What does this quote have to do with Gowi?
1828 definition of wisdom: The right use or exercise of knowledge; the choice of laudable ends, and of the best means to accomplish them. This is wisdom in act, effect, or practice. If wisdom is to be considered as a faculty of the mind, it is the faculty of discerning or judging what is most just, proper and useful, and if it is to be considered as an acquirement, it is the knowledge and use of what is best, most just, most proper, most conducive to prosperity or happiness. Wisdom
in the first sense, or practical wisdom, is nearly synonymous with discretion. It differs somewhat from prudence, in this respect: prudence is the exercise of sound judgment in avoiding evils; wisdom is the exercise of sound judgment either in avoiding evils or attempting good. Prudence then is a species, of which wisdom is the genus.
