Wisdom Quote by Allan Lokos — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Don't believe everything you think. Thoughts are just that - thoughts.”

“Patience is a natural consequence of the cultivation of compassion & love, for ourselves and all beings.”

“Patience is supported & nurtured by a quality of forgiveness.”

“To advance spiritually requires a method of practice & determination to carry it out.”

“Understanding the true nature of things, or seeing things as they really are, is the ground of wisdom.”

“Never pause unless you have a reason for it, but when you pause, pause as long as you can.”

“The ultimate difference between God's wisdom and man's wisdom is how they relate to the glory of God's grace in Christ crucified. God's wisdom makes the glory of God's grace our supreme treasure. But man's wisdom delights in seeing himself as resourceful, self-sufficient, self determining, and not utterly dependent on God's free grace.”

“Books permit us to voyage through time, to tap the wisdom of our ancestors. The library connects us with the insight and knowledge, painfully extracted from Nature, of the greatest minds that ever were, with the best teachers, drawn from the entire planet and from all our history, to instruct us without tiring, and to inspire us to make our own contribution to the collective knowledge of the human species. I think the health of our civilization, the depth of our awareness about the underpinnings of our culture and our concern for the future can all be tested by how well we support our libraries.”

“Before, you are wise; after, you are wise. In between you are otherwise”

“I am not one who was born with great wisdom. I love the ancients and diligently seek wisdom among them.”
