Empathy. The world would be a batter place if we weren't all trying to screw each other over.

Not sure if this counts but I'd say the capacity to be humane as that encompasses many qualities. Several billion humans exist but there are fewer billion who act like such.

Tasty.

Because at the end of the day all that emotional crap like love & humility is just a mechanism to stop other people eating you & using your bones as weapons to kill your family & eat them.

Someone said it, I will also say it:
Honesty.
Not just in words, but in actions as well, do you understand?

This one is hard to qualify. Best strictly for themselves, best for the human race, best for their immediate neighbors..?
(respectively: emotional detachment to the point of borderline sociopathy, strong but emotionally disengaged empathy, and technical skill)

Breast size obviously.

But seriously, I think the best quality, is understanding.

Someone capable of listening and understanding someone else is worth far more to me.

It can be for whatever you want. Your answers depend on how you view how society should live. If you think society would be better off as a cutthroat world then you would probably say "strength/distrust". If you think communism is the way to go you would say something like "kindness/selflessness". These are pigeon-holed examples that suit the purpose of iterating the depth of the question.

So you are saying that before you touch the stove you already had the wisdom to "no do it again"?
It's more like wisdom is how we use knowlege.
Knowlege is information, wisdom is what you do with it.
At least that's how I understand it.
In my eye wisdom is how you discern what is knowledge. Knowledge is truth whereas wisdom is how you determine what is truth.

Wisdom is application of knowledge in productive, protective, and time-saving ways. Knowing a speeding car will maim/kill you is a far cry from having the wisdom to look both ways before crossing the street.
