If one tries to navigate unknown waters one runs the risk of shipwreck
Albert Einstein
Visit us again, Savior. Your children, burdened with disbelief, blinded by a patina of wisdom, carom down this vale of fear. We cry for you although we have lost your name.
Maya Angelou
Go slowly, so that you do not bite your tail by accident.
Christopher Paolini
When they say the sky's the limit to me that's really true
Michael Jackson
If everyone helps to hold up the sky, then one person does not become tired.
Askhari Johnson Hodari
I do believe in simplicity. It is astonishing as well as sad, how many trivial affairs even the wisest thinks he must attend to in a day; how singular an affair he thinks he must omit. When the mathematician would solve a difficult problem, he first frees the equation of all incumbrances, and reduces it to its simplest terms. So simplify the problem of life, distinguish the necessary and the real. Probe the earth to see where your main roots run.
Henry David Thoreau
If your treated like a puppet find a new ball of string
Benny Bellamacina
Chase away sorrow by living
Melissa Marr
but why should I waste wisdom on a river-turtle?
Rudyard Kipling
Wisdom is the understanding of celestial things to which the Spirit is brought by Love.
Honore de Balzac
Mary watched the sunset from her carriage window, realizing that such beauty could never last. Life was a golden glory that faded in the wink of an eye. Life was a village fair that only lasted for a single day. As the carriage rattled along, rocking her like a babe in arms, Mary felt very old and wise. She found that she didn't mind being taken back to the castle, to a caring captivity that was filled with comforts and kindness. And she also found that she couldn't keep her eyes open.
Margaret George
The meaning of the words is necessary and not their extent.
Sorin Cerin
Ohne Gedankenfreiheit gibt es keine Weisheit. Und ohne Redefreiheit keine öffentliche Freiheit.
Benjamin Franklin
Tout bonheur est un chef-d'oeuvre: la moindre erreur le fausse, la moindre hésitation l'altère, la moindre lourder le dépare, la moindre sottise l'abêtit.
Marguerite Yourcenar
As you read my stories of long ago I hope you will remember that the things that are truly worthwhile and that will give you happiness are the same now as they were then. Courage and kindness, loyalty, truth, and helpfulness are always the same and always needed.
Laura Ingalls Wilder
It's very hard to know what wisdom is.
James Hillman
Among all the wisdom and facts I learned from Giannon, I also learned the loneliness of incarnation, in which there is inevitably a separation of souls because of the uniqueness of our faces and our experiences. And I learned also the moments when the current of my life joins the current of another life, and I can glimpse for a moment the one flowing body of water we all compose.
Kate Horsley
You have lost your reason and taken the wrong path. You have taken lies for truth, and hideousness for beauty. You would marvel if, owing to strange events of some sorts, frogs and lizards suddenly grew on apple and orange trees instead of fruit, or if roses began to smell like a sweating horse; so I marvel at you who exchange heaven for earth. I don't want to understand you.
Anton Chekhov
Faith is the courage to live your life as if everything that happens does so for your highest good and learning. Like it or not.
Dan Millman
humility is beyond our reach. if it were a product of reaching, we would instinctively be proud of reaching it. it is a gift.
John Piper
