Wisdom needs knowledge
Tempered by understanding
And a gentle soul
Wisdom of foresight
Knowing when silence can speak
A wealth of feelings
Haiku Heights ~ Prompt ~ Wisdom

I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Love both of these - the difference between knowledge and understanding - and foresight. Prometheus would be proud.

I suspect you're right: The really wise people in our world have gentle souls.
