Wisdom signifies in
general knowledge of the best end, and the best means of attaining it; but in
Scripture it signifies the same as true religion, the thorough practical
knowledge of God, of one’s self, and of a Savior. - Adam Clarke
There is no wisdom, save in truth. Truth is everlasting, but our ideas about
truth are changeable. Only a little of the first fruits of wisdom, only a few
fragments of the boundless heights, breadths and depths of truth, have I been
able to gather. - Martin Luther
Wisdom is the right use of knowledge. To know is not to be wise. Many men know a
great deal, and are all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great a
fool as a knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom. -
Charles Spurgeon
If honest of heart and uprightness before God were lacking or if I did not
patiently wait on God for instruction, or if I preferred the counsel of my
fellow-men to the declarations of the Word of God, I made great mistakes. -
George Muller
If ye keep watch over your hearts, and listen for the Voice of God and learn of
Him, in one short hour ye can learn more from Him than ye could learn from Man
in a thousand years. - Johannes Tauler
There is a slumbering inclination toward desire, which is both sudden and
fierce. With irresistible power, desire seizes mastery . . . a secret,
smoldering fire is kindled . . . at this moment God is quite unreal to us . .
.the powers of clear discrimination and of decision are taken from us . . . the
Bible teaches us in times of
temptation . . . there is one command: Flee! Get
away from it . . . for every struggle against lust in one's own strength is
doomed to failure. - Dietrich Bonhoeffer
