"Kindness is more important than wisdom, and the recognition of this is the beginning of wisdom."

That's much nicer than the way I used to put it: "Nobody likes assholes. So it doesn't matter if you are right, if you still are an asshole."

Haha true. Yet they say the equivalent thing

Wisdom is the tendency to make decisions that turn out well. It’s got nothing to do with convincing others your ideas are right.
