Wisdom is knowing how to use the known to pursue other knowns and unknowns. Since the unknown is seemingly infinite, I don't think we'll ever achieve true wisdom, but we can use wisdom to live and answer questions about everyday life.

Wisdom..... wisdom is a deep thought, theres not a lot of it.
wisdom is the ability to know and accept things that "are"
Wisdom is used by many philosophers to see the things that nobody else can and to not be afraid to think them.
there are so many types of wisdom. it is in the youth, somebody once said that "philosophy belongs to the youth" and that is true because they can see everything for the first time and still perceive it. it also comes with age, to be able to rule out what you know is wrong to only have the truth. wise people like to think about the impossible, and understand it, but do not necessarily have to do it.
Wisdom is believing.

Wisdom... ok.. Wisdom is sooo many different things. Wisdom is intuition, knowing how and who to love, knowing life, and how to live it. If you are wise, sometimes you know nothing at the same time, except for that one little feeling in the pit of your stomach. Some say wisdom comes with age, but I think babies are the wisest things alive. They learn to fin for themselves, and to do everything in such a timely manner, yet as you get older it takes more time to learn to do things well. The dictionary might give you a better answer, but I think that this is a better understanding. I hope this helps. :)

I think it was Confucius who said, "He who is wisest knows that he does not know" or something along those lines. Basically a wise person is someone who is always capable of making the best decisions. A wise person will evaluate all of the options. A wise person recognizes when he or she doesn't really know the answer but knows how to find out.
A wise person does not necessarily know a whole lot of different things. That's what smart is. And you can be smart without being wise. There are plenty of very "smart" or educated people who just do the stupidest stuff sometimes.
Hope this helps.

wisdom is the ability to act upon an intelligent interpretation of the facts of a given situation. Not simply knowlegde but how to employ that knowledge to obtain the best results within the environment you find yourself in.

I think wisdom comes from experience then you have to learn from it and pass that wisdom along over the years .....live and learn....that's why the older you get the wiser you get
