Quote by William Blake

The hours of folly are measured by the clock but of wisdom, no clock can measure.

The hours of folly are measured by the clock but of wisdom,

Summary

This quote suggests that the concept of time is connected to foolishness, as it can be easily counted and wasted. However, wisdom cannot be confined or measured by time. It implies that wise decisions and knowledge are not bound by the constraints of time, as they transcend moments and cannot be quantified. Ultimately, it highlights the timeless nature of wisdom, contrasting it with the limited nature of folly and the passage of time.

If you took a moment to step back and forget about everything that is going on that doesn't really mean that much anyway, you might be able to figure out how to get what you want and what has been stopping you. For every problem there is a solution, for every... need God has provided the answer, and for every want there is a way. Reality is what you make it.
