"Authority without wisdom is like a heavy ax without an edge, fitter to bruise than polish." ― Anne Bradstreet Topic(s): Wisdom More In Wisdom "I believe we have become paralyzed, paralyzed by our desire to be loved. Now our founding fathers had the wisdom to know that social acceptance and popularity were fleeing, and that this country’s principles needed to be rooted in strengths greater than the passions and the emotions of the times."― Chris Christie "I continue to believe, contrary to the given wisdom, that it’s more interesting to have an album – or, indeed, an individual song – which has variety rather than homogeneity."― Peter Hammill "Wisdom alone is true ambition’s aim, wisdom is the source of virtue and of fame; obtained with labour, for mankind employed, and then, when most you share it, best enjoyed."― Alfred North Whitehead
