Wisdom Quote by Marcia Angell — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“What good is power when you're too wise to use it?”

“ان الناس لاتعرف ان كتابا واحدا كفيل بان يغير مجرى حياة الانسان.”

“The wise person is there not to be walked over but to stand up for the actual truth, to call the other person out when need be, if they are hiding from some hard reality. “Receptivity without confrontation leads to a bland neutrality that serves nobody,” the theologian Henri Nouwen wrote. “Confrontation without receptivity leads to an oppressive aggression which hurts everybody.”

“Ofttimes we are prone to want to see things move along faster than they sometimes do. We are inclined to force an issue, to have a showdown, to force our patterns of thought and action on others. We think time will not wait. But often we will make haste by going a little slower.”

“Indeed if fish had fish-lore and Wise-fish, it is probable that the business of anglers would be very little hindered.”

“Free thinker walks on shortcuts among wisdoms.”
