10 insightful quotes on wisdom…
(1) What you are aware of you are in control of; what you are not aware of is in control of you ~ Anthony De Mello.
(2) If you believe the doctors, nothing is wholesome; if you believe the theologians, nothing is innocent; if you believe the military, nothing is safe ~ Lord Salisbury.
(3) The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance – it is the illusion of knowledge ~ Daniel J. Boorstin
(4) Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that ~ Martin Luther King, Jr
(5) Everything is based on mind, is led by mind, is fashioned by mind. If you speak and act with a polluted mind, suffering will follow you, as the wheels of the oxcart follow the footsteps of the ox. Everything is based on mind, is led by mind, is fashioned by mind. If you speak and act with a pure mind, happiness will follow you, as a shadow clings to a form ~ Buddha.
(6) We learn wisdom from failure much more than from success. We often discover what will do, by finding out what will not do; and probably he who never made a mistake never made a discovery. ~ Samuel Smiles.
(7) Believe those who are seeking the truth; doubt those who find it ~ Andre Gide.
(8) It is a thousand times better to have common sense without education than to have education without common sense ~ Robert G. Ingersoll.
(9) A writer arrived at the monastery to write a book about the Master.
“People say you are a genius. Are you?” he asked.
“You might say so.” said the Master, none too modestly.
“And what makes one a genius?” “The ability to recognize.” “Recognize what?”
“The butterfly in a caterpillar: the eagle in an egg; the saint in a selfish human being.” ~ Anthony De Mell
