    I’ll leave it for others to determine if I’m wise, but no one else can determine whether I’m happy or not. All things considered, I am.

    With knowledge comes sadness. I guess it goes true for being wise as well. But being wise also brings a certain kind of fulfillment that sparks happiness within.

    Don't know about that.  I rather think its wise to be happy.

    Benjamin Franklin is quoted to have said: "Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise".  As for me.

    It is possible to be both if you stop expecting anybody to appreciate your wisdom.

    I feel much better since I gave up hope.

    I'm a lot of happy and a little wise but get wiser by the day. :)  So, you could say, I am happily wise.
