Why are you unhappy? Because 99% of everything you think and everything you do is for yourself, and there isn't one. -Wei Wu Wei

Anthony Trollope

Wisdom allows nothing to be good that will not be so forever; no man to be happy but he that needs no other happiness than what he has within himself; no man to be great or powerful that is not master of himself.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca

John Paul Jones

Lion sounds that have not grown from the mouse may exude naked power... but cannot convey any wisdom or understanding... The initial steps on the path to courageous speech then are the first tentative steps into the parts of us that cannot speak.

This, and this alone, is Christianity, a universal holiness in every part of life, a heavenly wisdom in all our actions, not conforming to the spirit and temper of the world but turning all worldly enjoyments into means of piety and devotion to God.

The time of wisdom cannot be measured, and for me, wisdom is the garden. There is no time in the garden.
