The sentence should be: Gold and silver aren't enough for wisdom to be bought with. But I personally would have said it this way: - You can't by wisdom with gold and/or silver. P.S. I'm not a native speaker, so forgive me if I answered the question incorrectly. I hope this was helpful :D

Well, obviously there are a lot of different ways to say this ... as you can see above. ^ But there is definitely a better way to say "Gold and silver aren't enough for wisdom to be bought." Such as mentioned before: (1) "You can't buy wisdom with gold and/or silver." (2) "Gold and Silver aren't enough to buy wisdom." And, I would even probably say: "Wisdom can't be bought with gold and silver." P.S. Don't be discouraged, what you said made sense ... there's just a better way to say it. ^^
