I read this in some recent research: “The wise man must not know after but know before.” —Epicharmus (460 BC), cited in C. Spicq, TLNT, 2:472
I used it on my blog, also, but here’s a question for you to answer in the comments or, if you’re a long-winded Fellow (which is a good thing), in a separate TFR post: What must the wise man know beforehand?
Yup, I made a Nudge out of it.

That he does not know.

How about what he himself would do in a certain situation? Or maybe even the real source of wisdom? (Psalm 111:10; Proverbs 9:10) Of course this is from a Christian perspective. I have a hard time giving opinions from any other perspective now…but if you ask my wife she says I do very well with seeing things from a “man’s perspective” especially when it comes to stinky things like perfume :) But she knew that before she married me – there’s another answer for your question!
Good question.
