More From Michel De Montaigne

Wisdom cannot be imparted. wisdom that a wise man attempts to impart always sounds like foolishness to someone else ... knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. one can find it, live it, do wonders through it, but one cannot communicate and teach it.” - hermann hesse, siddhartha "we don't receive wisdom; we must discover it for ourselves after a journey that no one can take for us or spare us from.

Everyone recognizes a distinction between knowledge and wisdom. . . wisdom is a kind of knowledge. it is knowledge of the nature, career, and consequences of human values. since these cannot be separated from the human organism and the social scene, the moral ways of man cannot be understood without knowledge of the ways of things and institutions.

The endless cycle of idea and action, endless invention, endless experiment, brings knowledge of motion, but not of stillness; knowledge of speech, but not of silence; knowledge of words, and ignorance of the word. all our knowledge brings us nearer to our ignorance, all our ignorance brings us nearer to death, but nearness to death no nearer to god. where is the life we have lost in living? where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? where is the knowledge we have lost in information? the cycles of heaven in twenty centuries bring us farther from god and nearer to the dust.

Much has been said of the loneliness of wisdom, and how much the truth seeker becomes a pilgrim wandering from star to star. to the ignorant, the wise man is lonely because he abides in distant heights of the mind. but the wise man himself does not feel lonely. wisdom brings him nearer to life; closer to the heart of the world than the foolish man can ever be. bookishness may lead to loneliness, and scholarship may end in a battle of beliefs, but the wise man gazing off into space sees not an emptiness, but a space full of life, truth, and law.
