The seat of knowledge is in the
head, of wisdom,
in the heart.
William Hazlitt
The difference between knowledge and wisdom is clear and according to Hazlitt, it’s seat resides in different locations. Not all that difficult to believe or understand when you think about it. Knowledge comes from the study of books, wisdom comes from the study of life.
Wisdom can be found in the most surprising packages. Wisdom is found in the old and the young, the scholars and the simple, the joy-filled and the sorrow-filled.
Watch for wisdom today…..search for wisdom….listen for wisdom. Open yourself to the Source of all Wisdom. Open your heart to receive the Gift of Wisdom. She will quietly come to you and make a home in your heart.
Reflections on the Journey 
You know what they say, life is the best teacher. Isn’t that the truth, with wisdom being the best education.
When I was young I was full of wisdom. The Encyclopaedia Britanica fell on my head!
Sorry Andie … I felt like being silly.
Great post though.
God bless.
Thank you for this lovely post, Andie. NCR today posted a poem/prayer by Joyce Rupp on wisdom at http://ncronline.org/blogs/spiritual-reflections/calling-sophia. You might like it.
Hi Andie,
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Knowledge of the holy one is understanding. I heard that wisdom is applying knowledge to life’s situations. Having knowledge is one thing, but applying it to your circumstances is quite another.
Blessings,
Judy
Thanks Andie! Beautiful post on wisdom!
