Wisdom Quote by C.G. Jung — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“As understanding deepens, the further removed it becomes from knowledge.”

“When we enter this world, it is terribly raw and brutal and repugnant and of divine beauty. This is nature: cold as stone and splendid as the finest love. And I say to myself: This continues after death. This is still nature and things can happen which would make you aghast. For example, take a man who starts off as a young lad with very tender stirrings of the heart, but what has become of him after thirty or forty years? And Gott-fried Keller said the same of young girls, how innocent they looked and what then becomes of them later! One could say: They become this nature, they grow into it and become these devils that they precisely are also in eternal nature. And then the dead come into a different nature. They are born into it through death and assume the color and pitch of that nature. For “there” is also some sort of nature, it too is somehow of God.”

“For the alchemist the one primarily in need of redemption is not man, but the deity who is lost and sleeping in matter. Only as a secondary consideration does he hope that some benefit may accrue to himself from the transformed substance as the panacea, the medicina catholica, just as it may to the imperfect bodies, the base or "sick" metals, etc. His attention is not directed to his own salvation through God's grace, but to the liberation of God from the darkness of matter.”

“The intelligent have plans; the wise have principles.”

“While wisdom dictates the need for education, education does not necessarily make one wise.”

“Between hope and fear, let us kindle imagination and grow resilience, creating the momentum to transform rusty patterns and inhabit the wisdom of each precious “moment.” (“Going back to yesterday“)”

“Some endings do not remove weight; they simply redistribute it.”

“I am curious about no small number of things, but it's not fair to sate my curiosity at the expense of her pain.”

“Where are you? Here”
