Wisdom Quote by Jodi Picoult — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“What would you do if you only had one day left in this world? Spend it with the people you love? Travel to the far corners of the earth to see as many wonders as possible? Eat nothing but chocolate? Would you apologize for all your mistakes? Would you stand up to those you'd never had the courage to face? Would you tell your secret crush that you loved him or her? Why is it that we wait till the last minute to do the things we should be doing all along?”

“We all have stories we tell ourselves, until we believe them to be true.”

“Take it from me: love has all the lasting permanence of a rainbow- beautiful while it's there, and just as likely to have disappeared by the time you blink.”

“Sometimes you can see things happen right in front of your eyes and still jump to the wrong conclusions.”

“Oh, darling, that’s what love is. It’s some power greater than you and me, that draws us to one special person.”

“What makes a treasure a treasure is how rare a find it is, when you need it the most.”

“We do learn and develop when we are exposed to those who are greater than we are. Perhaps this is the chief way we mature.”

“The relationship between apprentice and mentor is one of the most beautiful and most sacred relationships. In sharing his wisdom with his apprentice, the mentor discovers even more wisdom to share.”

“Be a craftsman in speech that thou mayest be strong, for the strength of one is the tongue, and speech is mightier than all fighting.”

“There are some who deploy casual wisdom for the purpose of engaging.”

“A wise man doesn’t answer a multifaceted question with a ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ response alone. A one-word reply for an issue is a kindergarten response that has no value or meaning. Two people could basically feel the same way about an issue but still argue about it and possibly even come to hate each other because they settled on different one-word answers.”

“All those years I thought that it was power that brought responsibility. It's not. I was wrong.”
