Wisdom

"Happiness is not a destination but the journey itself."

"Our life is a journey toward happiness."

"Life is a journey, so go on your way. Be a messenger of peace."

"It is inevitable that I will leave a legacy simply because I cannot walk through life without leaving footprints as I walk. Therefore, I would be wise to consider the path before I make the prints."

"There is an end to every journey."

"The pessimists believe that the cosmos is a clock that is running down; the progressives believe it is a clock that they themselves are winding up. But I happen to believe that the world is what we choose to make it, and that we are what we choose to make ourselves; and that our renascence or our ruin will alike, ultimately and equally, testify with a trumpet to our liberty.- The Illustrated London News, July 10, 1920 Issue."

"Never let anyone get the worst of you. For you too will become just like them"

"The strength of a man is in his character. A strong man is a great man of wisdom who understands, his top priority is to his family."

"WHO WHAT WHERE WHY WHENPersonality redefines character through phases of wisdom at different ages"

"For an educated person, intelligence is important but character is more important."

"Wisdom along with maturity is self understanding and defining one's character through reasoning in a circumstance."

"It is the character of the road you travel gives you wisdom not the length of the road!"

"Truth needs wisdom's guidance. Wisdom prevents a hard truth from getting the best of you when an imperfect character brings out the worst in you."

"The sort of people that we become is, in large part, determined by the voices that we choose to listen to. Truly, we do not have a choice of listening versus not listening. We all obey certain voices, and thus the question is not “Will I listen?” but “Which voices will I listen to?” But it is not only a matter of choosing to listen to good voices over bad ones. If only it were as simple as the proverbial whispering angel and devil on our shoulders. It is also a matter of whether we will choose to listen to different voices, voices that don’t sound the same as our own. Will we listen to the voices of different cultures, ethnicities, backgrounds and beliefs? Will we listen to the voices that unsettle us and might make us feel anxious or guilty? If we choose to listen only to voices that echo our own, we will be limited in our growth and stunted in our spirituality. Choosing to tune in to only one or two stations may be comfortable, but it is not transformative. The voices we want to hear are not always the same as the voices we need to hear."

"Decision power is knowledge-based, wisdom-driven and character-oriented."

"The purpose of salt is to change the nature of what it invades without calling attention to itself. Attracting attention to yourself in the Kingdom of God is like seducing the bride because you are the best man of the groom."

"I've noticed...that whenever a man is asked to be realistic he is being asked to betray something in which he believes. It is the favorite argument of those who believe that only the end matters, not the means."

"What a wise person teaches is the smallest part of what they give. The totality of their life, of the way they go about it in the smallest details, is what gets transmitted."

"The only way to know is to learn, relearn and unlearn."

"God gives wisdom to who dare ask for it."
