The growth of wisdom may be gauged exactly by the diminution

Summary

This quote suggests that one's level of wisdom can be measured by how much their inclination towards anger and irritability diminishes over time. It implies that as we become wiser, we develop a greater ability to remain calm and composed in various situations, resulting in a reduction of our ill temper. This connection between wisdom and temper implies that wisdom entails a higher level of emotional control, allowing individuals to respond more effectively to challenges and conflicts with a more measured and understanding approach.
