About This Quote
James Allen is considered as one of the greatest writers on spirituality of all time. In his book, ‘As a Man Thinketh,’ he gives us a great piece of advice. He tells us that there are three characteristics of wisdom: knowledge, experience and patience. Like many who talk about wisdom, James Allen is not talking about a specific kind of knowledge or a specific kind of experience.
He is talking about the attitude that comes from a combination of these three qualities. The first quality of wisdom is knowledge. That is understanding that we do not know everything, and that we need to learn more if we want to grow in our relationship with our heavenly Father.
In this regard James Allen talks about the importance of studying. If we study carefully, we can learn more about God and ourselves as well as how to live our lives so as to serve those around us.
