Plato later goes on to discuss the Forms and says that nothing is immutable and perfect as the Forms. Wisdom and Truth are just two Forms that don't have any real manifestation in our world...but we can strive toward them.
Buddhism discusses this as the path the nirvana and the Eightfold Path, where Nirvana is probably most like a Form and is perfect wisdom and shit like that.
Unfortunately none of these things can be grasped in our state, for once you achieve Nirvana you transcend life, which probably means you're dead.
On that note of death, Socrates said that philosophy was training for dying and death. You aren't ever done with it, ie, you are never wise enough, you can always be wiser and you can always keep walking the path so long as you're alive...but wherever you are on that path, eventually you will face death. Philosophy helps us prepare for it.
