Wisdom According to this new study, a group of experts have defined wisdom. As someone who believes we should always question the wisdom of experts, I think it would only be wise to do the same with this study. Nevertheless, I do believe we may be unlearning wisdom so I encourage you to seek a modicum of truth in these three powerful quotes about wisdom. And, if you don't have the time for that, just remember these truly wise words: "If you realize you aren't so wise today as you thought you were yesterday, you are wiser today."
