I think that words can show wisdom but they cant transmit wisdom. You can be affected by words and you can develop certain kind of wisdom as a consecuence. But you cant obtain wisdom directly from them. Words are empty, they only have meaning to the right ears. The same words arent the same for all the people. So words are just ways of helping us but the posibilty of reaching any kind of wisdom is ours.
