Wisdom Quote by John Geddes — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“...here's what I've learned - people will hurt you, but you don't have to respond - not every mean comment or cruel act deserves to be noticed ...”

“...the wet brush of snowflakes was like your kisses everywhere ...”

“...I live with regrets - the bittersweet loss of innocence - the red track of the moon upon the lake - the inability to return and do it again...”

“You think money can solve any problem, but all it s good for is buying the things it can, and leaving you free to pursue the things it can't.”

“A wise man always has something to say, whereas a fool always needs to say something.”

“There will come a time in your life when you lose something that matters to you. You'll fight for it and you won't win. But what really matters isn't the war you're waging, it's that you don't lose the person you are in the midst of the battle.”

“Remember, you cannot be both young and wise. Young people who pretend to be wise to the ways of the world are mostly just cynics. Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the farthest thing from it. Because cynics don’t learn anything. Because cynicism is a self-imposed blindness, a rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or disappoint us. Cynics always say no. But saying “yes” begins things. Saying “yes” is how things grow. Saying “yes” leads to knowledge. “Yes” is for young people. So for as long as you have the strength to, say “yes'.”

“A time like that comes for every man, when he chooses what sort of man he wants to be. And if you don't know the story, you don't know the man.”
