Scholars of the Hebrew bible define something they call wisdom literature and I would say clearly the poetry of wisdom is something that comes with age or that might come with age which has to do with reflecting on experience.

Edward Hirsch

ALPHA-60: Your name is written "Ivan Johnson," but it is pronounced "Lemmy Caution," Secret Agent Zero Zero Three of the Outlands. You are a threat to the security of Alphaville. CAUTION: I refuse to become what you call "normal." ... ALPHA-60: You cannot escape. The door is locked. CAUTION: Try to stop me, pal.

Jean-Luc Godard

You are frightened of everything. You call it caution. You call it common sense. You call it practicality. You call it playing the odds, but that's only because you're afraid to call it by its real name, and its real name is fear.

Mick Farren

This prophecy of a coming enlightenment is echoed in virtually every faith and philosophical tradition on Earth.

Leon Panetta

Led by myself and two colleagues, the course offers a newly developed model of spiritual direction that draws on both the age-old wisdom of the church and more recent perspectives. I call it the Passion/Wisdom Model of Spiritual Direction, and I see it as offering the opportunity for our interior worlds and supernatural reality to meet.

Larry Crabb

There is a courageous wisdom; there is also a false, reptile prudence, the result not of caution but of fear.

Edmund Burke

Call it not paranoia, but caution.

Laura Anne Gilman

Allow me to offer a simple definition of wisdom. Wisdom is looking at life from God's point of view.

Charles R. Swindoll

You know you've reached middle age when all you exercise is caution

Abraham Lincoln

All the 'too close to call' announcements are not due to incompetence ... It's caution.

Chris Matthews

Let your old age be childlike, and your childhood like old age; that is, so that neither may your wisdom be with pride, nor your humility without wisdom.

Saint Augustine
