Knowledge comes by taking things apart, but wisdom comes by putting things together.

Knowledge comes by taking things apart, but wisdom comes by

Summary

This quote implies that acquiring knowledge requires breaking down or analyzing things to understand them better. On the other hand, wisdom involves integrating different pieces of knowledge and experiences to gain a deeper understanding and make informed judgments. While knowledge focuses on the details and components, wisdom emphasizes the ability to synthesize information and perceive a broader perspective. Therefore, this quote suggests that true wisdom goes beyond mere accumulation and requires a holistic view that encompasses connections and relationships among various elements.

Undeserved praise causes more pangs of conscience later than undeserved blame, but probably only for this reason, that our power of judgment are more completely exposed by being over praised than by being unjustly underestimated.

I was neurotic for years. I was anxious and depressed and selfish. Everyone kept telling me to change. I resented them and I agreed with them, and I wanted to change, but simply couldn't, no matter how hard I tried. Then one day someone said to me, Don't change. I love you just as you are. Those words were music to my ears: Don't change, Don't change. Don't change . . . I love you as you are. I relaxed. I came alive. And suddenly I changed!

Perhaps our supercilious disgust with existence is a cover for a secret disgust with ourselves; we have botched and bungled our lives, and we cast the blame upon the environment or the world, which have no tongues to utter a defense. The mature man accepts the natural limitations of life; he does not expect Providence to be prejudiced in his favor; he does not ask for loaded dice to play the game of life. He knows, with Carlyle, that there is no sense in vilifying the sun because it will not light our cigars. And perhaps, if we are clever enough to help it, the sun will even do that; and this vast neutral cosmos may turn out to be a pleasant place enough if we bring a little sunshine of our own to help it out. In truth, the world is neither with us or against us; it is but raw material in our hands, and can be heaven or hell according to what we are.
