Wisdom Quote by William Stafford — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“This dream the world is having about itself”

“The Way It Is”

“A writer is not so much someone who has something to say as he is someone who has found a process that will bring about new things he would not have thought of if he had not started to say them.”

““Wisdom is having things right in your life”

“I heard a bird congratulating itself”

“Smartass Disciple: Master, what did you do to earn wisdom ?”

“All that sadness. All that anger. It is the smoke that gets into your eyes. If you do not blow it away, how can you hope to see?”

“To awaken is not to reject the dream. It is to become lucid within it, and know that we are not the story but the storyteller. Not the role but the actor. Not the wave but the ocean. And from that knowing, we live more fully, love more deeply, and create more freely.”

“Knowing others is intelligence;”

“Anger exceeding limits causes fear and excessive kindness eliminates respect.”

“You tell me: 'Life is hard to bear.' But if it were otherwise why should you have your pride in the morning and your resignation in the evening?”
