I'll define (my specialty 
) word wisdoms (plural) after stating three of them, just for the starters:
One may loosely say that word widoms is a synonym of word aphorisms, the other synonyms being dictums, epigrams, maxims, mottos, pearls of wisdom, proverbs... Some paradoxes are aphorisms. And still, all these synonyms are different from wisdoms.
Every single wisdom is profound and covers a large conceptual space. It may have sometimes other properties too but it'd be secondary (while nice).
I invite you to stop and think about these three wisdoms since they encode quite a bit. Once a wisdom is absorbed it may serve us on many occasions thus helping communication.
Let me apply the third of the above wisdoms: some of you may be tempted to tell me and the audience how my note is not interesting and similar. That would be a logical error of mixing the meta-level and direct level. Your comments would not belong to the present topic but to its meta-topic. It follows, if you mean to be cultural, that you should your such comments to a new thread that can be called
which would be a meta-thread with respect to the present thread.
This was just one (important!) application of the third wisdom but there is much more to it, way way more.

- Tactics cannot be strategic.
- Separate the meta-level from the direct level.
