We have a collection of 3 Wisdom quotes from Mary Astell

"Although it has been said by men of more wit than wisdom, and perhaps more malice than either, that women are naturally incapable of acting prudently, or that they are necessarily determined to folly, I must by no means grant it." (ID 3373)


"Unhappy is that Grandeur which makes us too great to be good; and that Wit which sets us at a distance from true Wisdom." (ID 3374)


"The Relation we bear to the Wisdom of the Father, the Son of His Love, gives us indeed a dignity which otherwise we have no pretence to. It makes us something, something considerable even in God's Eyes." (ID 3375)
