Wisdom Quote by Tony Vigorito — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Free will is the cutting edge of Creation, don’t you see? The word spontaneity derives from the Latin sponte, meaning ‘of one’s free will.’ Spontaneity is the impulse, the purest expression of freedom, and the impulse wants to do whatever it wants to do. But you are afraid of what others think, others who are just as afraid of what you think, and so you pussyfoot along the perimeter of the free-will zone, wilting like a wallflower.”

“The dark season is not a sign that we have failed the spiritual life. It is a sign that the spiritual life has reached the place where the deepest work can finally begin — the work that the easier seasons, with all their warmth and light, could never quite reach.”

“She had suspected that war might be inevitable, but she had harboured a glimmer of hope that wisdom and compromise would prevail.”
