Wisdom Quote by Anasazi Foundation — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Life is a walking, a journey. So, if life upon Mother Earth is a journey, there are two ways to walk. We can choose to walk forward or we can choose to walk backward. Forward Walking choices are rewarded with consequences that light the way to peace, happiness, joy, comfort, knowledge, and wisdom. Backward Walking choices bring to the Two-Legged beings consequences of misery despair, and darkness.”

“I have learned that the point of life's walk is not where or how far I move my feet but how I am moved in my heart.”

“There is a power in nature that man has ignored. And the result has been heartache and pain.”

“Whether we walk among our people or alone among the hills, happiness in life's walking depends on how we feel about others in our hearts.”

“The most beautiful thing in the world is a heart that is changing.”

“The success of my journey depended on whether my heart walked forward—toward my people—instead of backward, away from them.”

“One may enter the literary parlor via just about any door, be it the prison door, the madhouse door, or the brothel door. There is but one door one may not enter it through, which is the child room door. The critics will never forgive you such. The great Rudyard Kipling is one of a number of people to have suffered from this. I keep wondering to myself what this peculiar contempt towards anything related to childhood is all about.”

“Don't go on discussing what a good person should be. Just be one.”

“The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the naive forgive and forget; the wise forgive but do not forget.”

“There are two paths of which one may choose in the walk of life; one we are born with, and the one we consciously blaze. One is naturally true, while the other is a perceptive illusion. Choose wisely at each fork in the road.”

“Take the matter as you find it ask no questions, utter no remonstrances; it is your best wisdom. You expected bread and you have got a stone: break your teeth on it, and don't shriek because the nerves are martyrised; do not doubt that your mental stomach - if you have such a thing - is strong as an ostrich's; the stone will digest. You held out your hand for an egg, and fate put into it a scorpion. Show no consternation; close your fingers firmly upon the gift; let it sting through your palm. Never mind; in time, after your hand and arm have swelled and quivered long with torture, the squeezed scorpion will die, and you will have learned the great lesson how to endure without a sob.”
