"Wisdom is a condition of consciousness rather than an attitude of mind. Wisdom is that state of being in which an individual finds himself when realization has tinctured and transmuted all attitudes and opinions. A wise man is one who has experienced wisdom, wisdom in this sense being a mystical experience."

The ingenuities of its meanness defy all the calculations of reason, and reach the miraculous in subtlety.”
