Wisdom is a high-level quality that involves using knowledge and experience to make good judgments and decisions. It can also refer to the ability to understand inner qualities and relationships, or to accumulated knowledge. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Here are some examples of wisdom in a sentence: [3]
• "He hosts a weekly radio show in which he dispenses wisdom on a variety of subjects". [3]
• "I questioned the wisdom of taking so many pills". [3]
• "He shared a valuable bit of wisdom with his daughter". [5]
Synonyms of wisdom include understanding, sense, sapience, enlightenment, and erudition. Antonyms of wisdom include stupidity and ignorance. [6]
Some say that wisdom is acquired through life experience and continued practice. Others say that culture influences which experiences people have and how they handle them, which can contribute to the development of wisdom. [7, 8]
Some examples of words of wisdom include:
• “What lies behind you and what lies in front of you pales in comparison to what lies inside of you.” –Ralph Waldo Emerson.
• “It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.” –Aristotle.
• “Real change, enduring change, happens one step at a time.” –Ruth Bader Ginsburg. [9]
