Practical wisdom

You have to have the moral will to do right by other people and beyond this, the moral skill to figure out what doing right means.

Practical wisdom, Aristotle told us, is the combination of moral will and moral skill.
A wise person is made, not born... Well, this is a good news :-)
It takes a lot of experience to learn how to care for people.

The good news is that you don't need to be brilliant, to be wise.
The bad news is that without wisdom, brilliance isn't enough.

A wise person does the right thing. Wants to and knows how!

Later update:
Apparently I love this guy :-) It's only now that I've seen he's the same one as in my post a few days ago...
