Quote by William Shakespeare

Light seeking light doth light of light beguile.


Light seeking light doth light of light beguile.

Summary

This quote implies that when two equally bright lights come together, they cancel each other out or make each other appear less bright. It suggests that two similar things or individuals, when brought together, may not enhance or amplify each other's qualities, but rather diminish them. In other words, sometimes combining or seeking out similar strengths or attributes may result in a paradoxical decrease in their overall impact or efficacy.

A man comes into a bar, obviously nervous and obviously in a hurry, walks over to the counter, picks up an empty glass and starts eating it. When he is finished he goes over to the wall, walks up the wall, walks along the ceiling, walks down the other wall and disappears out the door.The barkeeper can't believe his eyes. What the hell, he says, is going on here?A man who has been sitting on a bar stool and seen the whole thing, says with a shrug of his shoulders, Don't worry, I know that guy. It's always the same thing with him -- comes and goes without even saying hello.There are millions of people who are living like this. Miracles are happening all around but they can't see anything, they are blind with their knowledge.Drop your knowledge. Knowledge is worthless; wonder is precious. Regain the wonder that you had when you were a child -- and the kingdom of God belongs only to those who are able to become children again.http://oshofriendsinternational.com/book_of_wisdom/book.asp
