Wisdom Quote by Carl Sandburg — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Under the summer roses”

“A man must find time for himself. Time is what we spend our lives with. If we are not careful we find others spending it for us. . . . It is necessary now and then for a man to go away by himself and experience loneliness; to sit on a rock in the forest and to ask of himself, 'Who am I, and where have I been, and where am I going?' . . . If one is not careful, one allows diversions to take up one's time—the stuff of life.”

“Tell no man anything, for no man listens”

“Nothing happens unless first we dream.”

“Nothing happens unless first we dream.”

“Poetry is the synthesis of hyacinths and biscuits.”

“Ego is recessive in wisdom.”

“There are 1,198,500,000 people alive now in China.”

“Intuition sees the path; analysis clears it.”

“There is a depth to life which only comes from our connection to other people. However, we have to find it without becoming a prisoner.”

“People are always complaining that life's not fair, but that simply isn't true. Life is extraordinarily fair. It's just not centered on you.”

“Time is not the great teacher. Experience is. A man may live a whole life, but if he never leaves his home to experience that life, he dies knowing nothing. A mere child who has suffered and lived can be the wiser of the two.”
