Thoughts on Wisdom, Age, and Beauty

Are older people wiser? Not necessarily. Job 32:9 states, “Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgement.” Although wisdom is not promised with age, Proverbs emphasizes that wisdom is gained from hearing, learning, and seeking wise counsel (Prov. 1:5, 9:9, 16:21). There is a distinction between learning and wisdom too. 2 Tim. 3:7 talks about people [...]

And we produced out of that 3 million people perhaps six leaders of world class—Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Franklin, Madison, and Hamilton.
