“The boos always come from the cheap seats.We gain no wisdom by imposing our way on others”
“In examining disease, we gain wisdom about anatomy and physiology and biology. In examining the person with disease, we gain wisdom about life.”
“A generous person may not have wisdom: but, unlike others, he has the means to gain it.”
“Whoever is full of wisdom is naturally compassionate; in fact we recognize that someone has gained spiritual wisdom by seeing their compassionate behavior. . . . Individuals and countries with power need to develop wisdom and compassion, for without these attributes, there is a danger that the power will be used to oppress and exploit others. (31)”
“Nonsense, my good man! What we lose in vigor, we only gain in wisdom.”
