Words of Wisdom

[XxgoeyxX]

A Few from the Bible!

The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks. (NIV, Luke 6:45)

Better is a dish of vegetables where love is, than a fattened ox and hatred with it. (NAS, Proverbs 15:17)

Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth. Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; someone else, and not your own lips. (NIV, Proverbs 27:1-2)

"There is a saying, 'Love your friends and hate your enemies.' But I say: Love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you! In that way you will be acting as true sons of your Father in heaven. For he gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust too. If you love only those who love you, what good is that? Even scoundrels do that much. If you are friendly only to your friends, how are you different from anyone else? Even the heathen do that. But you are to be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect. (TLB, Matthew 5:43-48)

Do not wear yourself out to get rich; have the wisdom to show restraint. Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone, for they will surely sprout wings and fly off to the sky like an eagle. (NIV, Proverbs 23:4-5)

The greatest friend of truth is Time, her greatest enemy is Prejudice and her constant companion is Humility.
Charles Caleb Colton

That miscellaneous collection of a few wise and many foolish individuals, called the public.
John Stuard Mill

Being in politics is like being a football coach. You have to be smart enough to understand the game and damb enough to think it's important.
Eugene McCarthy

The public wishes itself to be mamaged like a woman; one must say nothing to it except what it likes to hear.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

For all sad words of tongue and pen, the saddest are those 'It might have been.' John Greenleaf Whittier

We, too, born to freedom, and believing in freedom, are willing to fight to maintain freedom. We, and all others who believe as deeply as we do, would rather die on our feet than live on our knees. F.D.R

All that is gold does not glitter; not all those that wander are lost.J.R.R. Tolkien

Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.

And I particluarly like this one....(Might not be a 'wise' saying, but...)
I was about half in love with her by the time we sat down. That's the thing about girls. Every time they do something pretty... you fall half in love with them, and then you never know where the hell you are. J. D. Salinger

There are some good stuff people. Keep the wisdom churning. Quotes are generally useless in and of themselves, unless they comprise an entire syllogism, or are for aesthetic purposes beyond. Otherwise, they’re merely assertions associated with particular famous people, they are useful only in persuading the unintelligent or uninformed. Satan quoted scripture, you can find as many Karl Marx quotes and you can find isolated quotes inconsistent with the overall views of those who coined them. However, they are still fun and evoke interest in all of us.

What ought one to say then as each hardship comes? I was practicing for this, I was training for this.
-Epictetus

All great truths begin as blasphemies.
-George Bernard Shaw

Of all the frictional resistances, the one that most retards human movement is ignorance.
-Nicola Tesla

[Anushik]

It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Do not expect the world to look bright, if you habitually wear gray-brown glasses.
Charles Eliot

I invent nothing. I rediscover.
Auguste Rodin

Man has received direct from God only one instrument wherewith to know himself and to know his relation to the universe--he has no other--and that instrument is reason. Leo Tolstoi

A man always has two reasons for doing anything--a good reason and the real reason. J. P. Morgan

Art is a kind of innate drive that seizes a human being and makes him its instrument. To perform this difficult office it is sometimes necessary for him to sacrifice happiness and everything that makes life worth living for the ordinary human being. -Carl Jung



Women, poets, and especially artists, like cats; delicate natures only can realize their sensitive nervous systems. -Helen M. Winslow
