Wisdom is prudential judgment, just yet merciful. It is kind words while being firm in a point. It is being open minded to growth, it is learned from experience, watching, and prayer.
 
Wisdom is that particular knowledge gained after screwing up something.

I think that Aquinas had it right. It is the Virtue by which the Intellect is perfected for the consideration of Truth.

O Brothers Sisters, I do not know much; I thought what is wisdom wisdom of God and wisdom of truth and wise; still sometimes when you say truth it might not come the good result, sometimes you do justice it might not come the best result, some people very kind it might be because that they are more aware and more understanding, that they would never want say anything to hurt others, some people just not that aware and understand. It might be not simple as that, when I read your wise words and wisdom; I am very happy; think , then, wisdom is more precious than gold. Oh, dear Brothers Sisters, think that please come here often to write more about wisdoms in everything and that we pray to God ask for wisdom.

:)I am sending you sincerely greetings and thanks, sincerely!
 
Proverbs 16:16
How much better to get wisdom than gold!
To get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.
 
Colossians 3
16Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; teach and admonish one another in all wisdom; and with gratitude in your hearts sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs to God.
 
“…worse than death is the life of a fool” --Sirach, 22, 11

In Sirach, a fool is someone who doesn’t believe in God.

Wisdom is understanding of the right order of things. The right order is that God is God, he’s in charge of everything, and we depend on him for everything.
As long as we love and trust God, we, our lives, cannot fail.
… "It is written ‘worse than death is the life of a fool’, but we saw in my talk with her Theresa is no fool. ‘Woe to thee when your king is a child’ says the Good Book, but Theresa shows lack of response to recent ill events. … A woman who puts her trust in a higher power will be unchanged. Theresa will remain Theresa.”

“wisdom consists in the knowledge of the greatness of God” (S. Thomas Aquinas, Commentary on Job 12, 1)

St. Bonaventure said the Gift of wisdom is given in order to love the supreme good and find rest in him.

This gift perfects the intellect to judge rightly to esteem the divine ideas.
 
Jesus is said to be the Wisdom of the Father.

An old Chinese sage(if I’m not mistaken said.) Suffering makes men think, thinking makes men wise, and wisdom makes life endurable. Thought I’d through this in, make a lot of sense

**Proverbs 3
13 Happy are those who find wisdom,
and those who get understanding,
14 for her income is better than silver,
and her revenue better than gold.
15 She is more precious than jewels,
and nothing you desire can compare with her.
16 Long life is in her right hand;
in her left hand are riches and honour.
17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
and all her paths are peace.
18 She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her;
those who hold her fast are called happy. **
 
Wisdom is the ability to discriminate between a right and wrong course of action just at the time when you need to be able to do that. But it is more than that. It is the greatest gift of the Holy Spirit.

There is a vast distance between wisdom and knowledge. Knowledge makes scientists able to create nuclear weapons, for example. But wisdom tells us they should never have been created … and the best we can hope for now is that wisdom tells us never to use them again.

So true this, Charlemagne III!

O Charlemagne, Now a day nuclear weapons are so strong that no one can stand it; and there are many not good situations in this world . See what a troubled world this is, we pray peace and pray that our Redeemer comes, then all will be well, think, then, it might be a little bit just like in fairy tales but much much better that we God children will have super power and eternal life and can do what ever we want and all good and happiness eternal.
 
2Timothy 2
7Think over what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in all things.
