“Wisdom is not guaranteed with age but is realized through one's sensitivity to humanity and the universe”

“One of the useful things about age is realizing conventional wisdom is often simply inertia with a candy coating of conformity.”

“Knowledge was never simply born in the human mind; it was always reborn. The relaying of wisdom from one age to the next, this cycle of rebirths: this was wisdom.”

“Confidence that one's impressions are God-given is no guarantee that this is really so, even when they persist and grow stronger through long seasons of prayer. Bible-based wisdom must judge them.”

“Age cannot determine the power of wisdom and stupid humans as we all are, think; more older the better wisdom.”

“It is highly significant and indeed almost a rule, that moral courage has its source in such identification through one's own sensitivity with suffering of one's fellow human beings." (p. 16-17)”
