love
of
wisdom
God
gave us the gift of life. The meaning of life is to find your gift.
Breathing is the first act of life and the last. When the breath from God
leaves, whatever remains is but
dust and goes back to
dust. Instinct is an untaught ability. Intuition is the whisper of the soul. Awareness of ignorance is the beginning of wisdom.
Wisdom is built on knowledge. Knowledge always comes first. Knowledge removes the darkness of ignorance in life. Education is the best antidote for ignorance.
Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom.
Mastering
others is strength; mastering yourself is true power. Real knowledge is knowing the extent of one's ignorance.
Knowing yourself is the beginning of wisdom. Wisdom is the right use
of knowledge. Knowledge
isn't free.
You have to pay attention. Science is organized knowledge; wisdom is organized
life. Integrity is telling the truth. And honesty is telling the
truth to other people. The ability to use our knowledge and experience to
make good decisions and judgments. Good judgment and advice in difficult
and uncertain matters of life. Listen to your instincts and manage growth
wisely. It will help you see and do the right thing at the right time, in
the right way, with the right people. Knowledge speaks but wisdom listens. Knowledge is knowing what to say. Wisdom is knowing when to say it. Wisdom, on the other hand, is the ability to use knowledge in a practical, intelligent way. Intelligence is not measured by how much you know but by how much you have the capacity to learn.
Intelligence is like a river. The deeper it is, the less noise it makes. Learn to speak well and listen better. A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer; it sings because
it has a song. Observe and reflect, and become a little wiser every day.
Quiet people often have the loudest minds. A wise old owl sat on an oak; the more he saw, the less he spoke; the less he
spoke, the more he heard. We are neither doves nor hawks but owls, and we
are vigilant when others are resting. Be an eagle instead of flocking like
pigeons.
You can't soar like an eagle when you surround yourself with turkeys. Flutter like a hummingbird, be bold like an eagle, and have a
fearless spirit. All birds find shelter during a rainstorm. An eagle
uses the negative energy of a storm to fly even higher.
Wisdom is not a product of schooling but of a lifelong attempt to acquire
it. Knowledge comes from learning. Experience comes from living.
A life without problems is like a school without lessons. Sometimes you
have to experience the bad, so that you can learn to appreciate the good things
that enter your life. To attain knowledge, add things everyday,
understanding, and accepting new information.
Intelligence is an individual's capacity to store and utilize information, while
wisdom is more practical knowledge gained through experience. Intelligence
doesn't guarantee wisdom. Intellect takes you to the door, but it doesn't
take you into the house. It requires wisdom to understand wisdom; the music is nothing if the audience is deaf.
Peace is the beauty of life.
Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if you remember to turn
on the light. Do not dwell in the past; do not dream of the future.
Concentrate the mind on the present moment.
When life hands you a lemon, make lemonade. Love yourself first, and everything else falls into place.
Wisdom is the right use of
knowledge. No one is perfect. That's why pencils have erasers. Good people are
good because they've come to wisdom through failure. Mistakes are painful,
but as time goes by, they become a collection of experiences called "lessons".
Wisdom provides contentment, joy, and peace.
Learn to manage your stress by making choices that bring you joy. Emotions are slaves to your thoughts, and you are the slave to your emotions. The truth is still the truth, even if no one believes it. A lie is still a lie, even if everyone believes it.
The truth is more important than the facts. The
truth
will set you free, but first it will piss you off. Competition is the law
of the jungle, but cooperation is the law of civilization.
Life is like a book. Some chapters are sad, some are happy, and some
are exciting. You can't start the next chapter of your life if you keep
re-reading the last one. Don't stay where you don't belong. If you don't let the past die, then it won't let
you live. You can never plan the future based on the past. Be
strong
enough to let go and wise enough to wait for what you deserve.
Wisdom outweighs any wealth. The value of life cannot be measured by
any amount of money. Prefer knowledge to wealth, for one is transitory and the other perpetual.
Don't gain the world and lose your
soul; wisdom is better than silver or
gold. Never stop learning, because life never stops teaching. We either practice
what we've learned or learn what we need to practice. Learn from
yesterday, live for today, and hope for tomorrow.
Time is the wisest counselor of all. Your time is your life.
That is why the
greatest gift you can give someone is your time. A loving heart is the truest wisdom.
"For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul."
(Proverbs 2:10)
Live to discover the value of life, not
the length of days. In the end, it's not the years in your life that
count. It's the life of your years.
