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

“Limitation of one's freedom might seem to be something negative and unpleasant, but love makes it a positive, joyful and creative thing. Freedom exists for the sake of love.”

“Love consists of a commitment which limits one's freedom - it is a giving of the self, and to give oneself means just that: to limit one's freedom on behalf of another.”

“Among wise men there is no place at all left for hatred. For no one except the greatest of fools would hate good men. And there is no reason at all for hating the bad. For just as weakness is a disease of the body, so wickedness is a disease of the mind. And if this is so, since we think of people who are sick in body as deserving sympathy rather than hatred, much more so do they deserve pity rather than blame who suffer an evil more severe than any physical illness.”

“Our Peter Pan generation is unhappy. All our lives, we want to grow up—”

“Beloved Pan, and all ye other gods who haunt this place, give me beauty in the inward soul; and may the outward and inward man be at one. May I reckon the wise to be the wealthy, and may I have such a quantity of gold as none but the temperate can carry. — Socrates”

“All knowledge meets an end at the question '...Why?”

“ما في المقامِ لذي عقلٍ وذي أدب”

“God is the supreme uncreated light of which Wisdom is born, but there was never a time when God's Wisdom did not exist.”
