The wisdom of crowds works when the crowd is choosing the price of an ox, when there's a single numeric average. But if it's a design or something that matters, the decision is made by committee, and that's crap. You want people and groups who are able to think thoughts before they share.

There is no knowledge, no light, no wisdom that you are in possession of, but what you have received it from some source.

The wisdom of the wise, and the experience of ages, may be preserved by quotation.

Putting is like wisdom - partly a natural gift and partly the accumulation of experience.

I am a poor student sitting at the feet of giants, yearning for their wisdom and begging for lessons that might one day make me a complete artist, so that if all goes well, I may one day sit beside them.
