How to unlock the Wisdom of a Sage achievement in DARK SOULS: REMASTERED - Definitive Guide
There are 24 Sorceries in the game. I will first list them in the order they appear in your inventory, then I'll explain how they can be obtained.
Note that Dark Bead, Dark Fog, and Dark Orb found in Oolacile Township and the Chasm of the Abyss are not required as they are from areas that were part of the original game's DLC .

NPC information
Griggs of Vinheim relocates to Firelink Shrine after being freed from a locked building in the Lower Undead Berg. He will not offer to sell spells to you unless you have at least 10 Int.
Big Hat Logan relocates to Firelink Shrine after being freed from a cage in Sen's Fortress. He will not sell spells to you unless you have at least 14 (maybe 15) Int, but this requirement does not apply once he relocates to the Duke's Archives (which happens automatically once you get there yourself). He is first found in the prison section and will advance to a small room near the Duke's Archives bonfire once freed from his cell. You must buy all of his spells once he relocates to this small room, defeat Seath, then talk to him again so that he will relocate a final time to the room where you first encountered Seath.
Dusk of Oolacile is summonable near the edge of the lake in the Darkroot Basin near where the giant hydra is located. In order for her summon sign to appear, you must kill the hydra, then move across the lake and into a cavern area to defeat a golden crystal golem, freeing Dusk. Talk to her and answer "yes" when asked, at which point you can go back and summon her via her summon sign.
Note: Dusk’s summon sign disappears once you acquire the Broken Pendant from the Crystal Golem in the Duke’s Archives. After this point, you can buy her spells from Elizabeth, who is accessible after defeating the Sanctuary Garden in the Oolacile Garden.
Ingward is located atop a building full of ghosts in the New Londo ruins.

I started a new character and once I picked up one Sorcery the Achievement finally unlocked.

As always, refer to http://darksouls.wikidot.com/ for specific information relating to items or locations. This page gives specific information for each pyromancy.
Here is the solution and I'm 90% confident that it will work for you. The achievements "Wisdom of a sage" and "Bond of a Pyromancer" are glitched so you can use the same solution for both.
First, After getting all sorceries and Pyromancies go to quit game and start a new character
Second, Choose Pyromancer or Sorcerer
Third, start the game and DO NOT SKIP CUTSCENES it will pop after 3 seconds during the cutscene
You're welcome
Sorceries can either be purchased from certain NPCs, looted around the world or given as a reward by ranking up certain covenants. Below I will list where to get each sorcery and how to get the NPCs to sell them to you. Big thanks to Blood_Runs_Cold for compiling most of the information in here!
If you want, you can use the printable checklist from HERE made by Birr1978 to help you keep track of what you have.
--Sorceries Acquired by Looting/Rewarded--
Great Magic Weapon:
You can find this spell for free in Anor Londo. It is on the chandellier inside the church where the painting is. While walking on the narrow rafters of the church, cut the chain to the chandellier and it will drop to the floor of the church, making it obtainable.
Strong Magic Shield:
Duke's Archives. It is in a chest in one of the floors in first section of Library.
Remedy:
Blighttown. Found in a chest in the upper rear section of Blighttown.
Hush:
In Sen's Fortress, from the boulder launch room, go to the trail that leads to the Mimic (chest enemy). While turning the corner from the boulder room, look right to see a gap in the wall. Jump through and attack the snake mage with an air attack. You'll land on some wooden boards. Look around you'll see a broken wall on one side and a hallway on the other. Go down the hallway and you'll be in a cell with the Hush spell on the ground along with an armor set. (Thanks to AlejandroM for the conformation)
Alternatively you can kill the NPC Griggs of Vinhelm and he will drop it.
--Sorceries Acquired by Purchasing--
--Griggs of Vilhelm--
Griggs can first be found locked inside a room in the lower Undead Burg, near the area where dogs and thieves attack you, right before the Capra Demon boss fight.
To open his door you'll need the Residence Key, which can be purchased from the first merchant in Undead Burg for 1,000 souls. Once rescued he will go to Firelink Shrine and sell you his spells.
Some time after buying everything from him, he will leave and go to Sen's Fortress where he will become Hollow. You'll find him in the second path that leads up to the mechanism that launches the large steel balls the giant on the roof is dropping. That is where you can kill him to acquire the "Hush" spell.
When Big Hat Logan leaves the Shrine he will start selling you his spells as well.

--Big Hat Logan--
You can find Logan in Sen's Fortress, locked in a cage. The key is found by following the path beneath the merchant in Sen's Fortress, but players with a Master Key can open the cage right away. Free him and he will go to Firelink Shrine next to Griggs. He will sell stronger spells than Griggs.
When you reach The Duke's Archives, you will find Logan in a cell again. You'll find the key to it in the area with two Mimic Chests and a lot of other regular chests. Go back, free him, and you will find him in another room of the archives, where you can purchase his best spells. Once you have bought everything from him and killed Seath in Crystal Cave, return to that room where he is and talk to him. He will start to mumble and talk to himself.
After you reload the game or quit the area and come back he will be gone from that room and instead can be found in the room that Seath the Scaleless first was, however this time around he will be hollowed. Kill him to get the White Dragon Breath spell plus his hat and his catalyst.

Go all the way into a cave behind where the Hydra was to find the yellow golem. Kill the golem, and Dusk will be free.
