Syn :
Prudence ;
knowledge .
Usage : {
Wisdom }, {
Prudence }, {
Knowledge }.
Wisdom has been defined to be "
the use of the best means for attaining the best ends ." "
We conceive ,"
says Whewell , "
prudence as the virtue by which we select right means for given ends ,
while wisdom implies the selection of right ends as well as of right means ."
Hence ,
wisdom implies the union of high mental and moral excellence .
Prudence (
that is ,
providence ,
or forecast )
is of a more negative character ;
it rather consists in avoiding danger than in taking decisive measures for the accomplishment of an object .
Sir Robert Walpole was in many respects a prudent statesman ,
but he was far from being a wise one .
Burke has said that prudence ,
when carried too far ,
degenerates into a "
reptile virtue ,"
which is the more dangerous for its plausible appearance .
Knowledge ,
a more comprehensive term ,
signifies the simple apprehension of facts or relations . "
In strictness of language ,"
says Paley , "
there is a difference between knowledge and wisdom ;
wisdom always supposing action ,
and action directed by it ."
[
1913 Webster ]
Knowledge and wisdom ,
far from being one ,
Have ofttimes no connection .
Knowledge dwells In heads replete with thoughts of other men ;
Wisdom ,
in minds attentive to their own .
Knowledge ,
a rude ,
unprofitable mass ,
The mere materials with which wisdom builds ,
Till smoothed ,
and squared ,
and fitted to its place ,
Does but encumber whom it seems to enrich .
Knowledge is proud that he has learned so much ;
Wisdom is humble that he knows no more .
--
Cowper .
[
1913 Webster ]
