Wisdom Quote by David Rovics — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“The Coming of Wisdom with Time”

“Everybody’s gotta learn, nobody’s born knowing.”

“Criticism loses power the moment you stop needing it to be wrong.”

“In Arabic to say, for example, "Wisdom is precious," you could repeat the feminine pronoun: al-hikmah hiya thamînah, literally "Wisdom, she is precious." It is stated by some Sûfî Sheikhs (Masters) that Sûfîsm originally was named Sophia, which connects Sûfîsm with the Christian Gnostic tradition, in which Wisdom is personified as a woman, the divine Sophia. The physical mother of Jesus was an external image of manifestation of the Virgin Sophia, the word 'Sophia' stemming from Sophos (wisdom). The Gnostics, whose language was Greek, identified the Holy Spirit with Sophia, Wisdom; and Wisdom was considered female.”

“Those who want to buy wisdom remain with out wisdom, because money buys nothing except commodities.”

“We are only as strong as we are there for one another.”
