The wisdom of the wise and the experience of the ages are perpetuated by quotations.

Benjamin Disraeli

In seeking wisdom thou art wise; in imagining that thou hast attained it - thou art a fool.

Lord Chesterfield

Wisdom of the body

Our own physical body possesses a wisdom which we who inhabit the body lack. We give it orders which make no sense.

Henry Miller

A serene wisdom

Who everywhere is free from all ties, who neither rejoices nor sorrows if fortune is good or is ill, his is a serene wisdom.

Bhagavad Gita

Wisdom doesn't belong to anyone

Wisdom does not belong to one person. We need to act in accord with wisdom, but it does not belong to anyone. It is the illumination of old and proven ideas through generation after generation of discovering natural law.

Hunbatz Men

The body is your friend

Listen to the body. The body is not your enemy, and when the body is saying something, do accordingly, because the body has a wisdom of its own. Don't disturb it, don't go on a mind trip...
The body is your friend; it is not your enemy. Listen to its language, decode its language, and by and by, as you enter into the book of the body and you turn its pages, you will become aware of the whole mystery of life.

Osho in "Body Mind Balancing" page 43

Wisdom is understanding yourself

From 33rd verse of the Tao Te Ching:

One who understands others has knowledge;

One who understands himself has wisdom.

Mastering others requires force;

Mastering the self needs strength.

A Tao-orientated life focuses on understanding yourself, rather than on the thinking and behaviours of others. You shift from the acquisition of information and the pursuit of status symbols to understanding and mastering yourself in any and all situations.

Wayne Dyer in "Change Your Thoughts Change Your Life" page 160-161

Knowledge and Wisdom

Wisdom and Love

Wisdom is knowing that I am nothing,
Love is knowing I am everything,
and between the two my life moves.
