Wisdom Quote by Curtis Tyrone Jones — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“If your caring for others is deeply hurting you, it’s not actually caring for others but self hatred disguised as selflessness. When you’re caring for people, make sure to begin with yourself.”

“Give it air & let the scar on your soul reveal itself, because, like the body, it too was made to heal itself.”

““You can't”

“The root of your problem is not your past. The root of your problem is your perception of your past.”

“You never bomb yourself with happiness and wonder why you can't get beyond the shellshock of life.”

“It's funny how the ugly duckling always has so many beautiful things to teach us.”

“To awaken is not to reject the dream. It is to become lucid within it, and know that we are not the story but the storyteller. Not the role but the actor. Not the wave but the ocean. And from that knowing, we live more fully, love more deeply, and create more freely.”

“No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.”

“Science says the first word on everything, and the last word on nothing.”

“The mermaid is an archetypal image that represents a woman who is at ease in the great waters of life, the waters of emotion and sexuality. She shows us how to embrace our instinctive sexuality and sensuality so that we can affirm the essence of our feminine nature, the wisdom of our bodies, and the playfulness of our spirits. She symbolizes our connection with our deepest instinctive feelings, our wild and untamed animal nature that exists below the surface of outward personalities. She is able to respond to her mysterious sexual impulses without abandoning her more human, conscious side. What happened to the girls who dreamed of being mermaids?”

“We are much beholden to Machiavelli and others, that write what men do, and not what they ought to do . For it is not possible to join serpentine wisdom with the columbine innocency, except men know exactly all the conditions of the serpent; his baseness and going upon his belly, his volubility and lubricity, his envy and sting, and the rest; that is, all forms and natures of evil. For without this, virtue lieth open and unfenced. Nay, an honest man can do no good upon those that are wicked, to reclaim them, without the help of the knowledge of evil.”
