Wisdom \Wis"dom\ (-d[u^]m), n. [AS. w[imac]sd[=o]m. See Wise,
a., and -dom.]
[1913 Webster]

make due use of it; knowledge of the best ends and the
best means; discernment and judgment; discretion;
sagacity; skill; dexterity.

[1913 Webster]
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]
Wisdom tooth, the last, or back, tooth of the full set on
each half of each jaw in man; -- familiarly so called,
because appearing comparatively late, after the person may
be supposed to have arrived at the age of wisdom. See the
Note under Tooth, 1.
