The mintage of wisdom is to know that rest is rust, and that real life is in love, laughter, and work. Elbert Hubbard quotes Wisdom stands at the turn in the road and calls upon us publicly, but we consider it false and despise its adherents. Kahlil Gibran quotes Wise are they who have learned these truths: Trouble is temporary. Time is tonic. Tribulation is a test tube. William Arthur Ward quotes Pain and foolishness lead to great bliss and complete knowledge, for Eternal Wisdom created nothing under the sun in vain. Kahlil Gibran quotes To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life; foolish people are idle, wise people are diligent. Buddha quotes Poverty makes you wise but it's a curse. Bertolt Brecht quotes Life is a festival only to the wise Ralph Waldo Emerson quotes Self-pity is our worst enemy and if we yield to it, we can never do anything wise in this world. Helen Keller quotes On life's journey faith is nourishment, virtuous deeds are a shelter, wisdom is the light by day and right mindfulness is the protection by night. If a man lives a pure life, nothing can destroy him. Buddha quotes The finest emotion of which we are capable is the mystic emotion. Herein lies the germ of all art and all true science. Anyone to whom this feeling is alien, who is no longer capable of wonderment and lives in a state of fear is a dead man. To know that what is impenatrable for us really exists and manifests itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, whose gross forms alone are intelligible to our poor faculties - this knowledge, this feeling ... that is the core of the true religious sent iment. In this sense, and in this sense alone, I rank myself amoung profoundly religious men. Albert Einstein quotes |
