“Knowledge without application is simply knowledge. Applying the knowledge to one’s life is wisdom — and that is the ultimate virtue”

“Wisdom is the right application of knowledge; and true education...is the application of knowledge to the development of a noble and Godlike character.”

“Learning is a matter of gathering knowledge; wisdom is applying that knowledge.”

“Real wisdom is not the knowledge of everything, but the knowledge of which things in life are necessary, which are less necessary, and which are completely unnecessary to know. Among the most necessary knowledge is the knowledge of how to live well, that is, how to produce the least possible evil and the greatest goodness in one’s life. At present, people study useless sciences, but forget to study this, the most important knowledge.”

“Knowledge is power? No. Knowledge on its own is nothing, but the application of useful knowledge, now that is powerful.”

“Knowledge without wisdom is like a plane without a pilot!”
