Wisdom Quote by Stewart Stafford — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“The April Maiden by Stewart Stafford”

“Silence is occasionally a proactive choice, and not merely the inert absence of noise. It can be an act of courage, power unwielded out of sensitivity or respect, or a circle of concentration to reflect and reminisce. A well-timed silence can command a room, spare others needless pain, or be a pregnant pause to preserve a special moment.”

“We need the help of other people to be born into this world and to leave it.”

“Confront not the sandstorm, be the sidewinder inching towards home.”

“Life Looks Lasting by Stewart Stafford”

“There is no 'Happily ever after' because life is never static; it's in constant flux—a series of summits and silos—for one cannot appreciate light without enshrouding darkness.”

“La seule chose qui ne doive pas céder à la loi de la majorité est la conscience de l'individu”

“No one, from pontiffs to professors, has a monopoly on the truth. In the end, we are all just travelers--not scientists or mystics or any one brand of thinker. By nature, we are scientists and mystics, reductionists and holists, left-brained and right-brained, mixed up creatures trying to catch an occasional glimpse of the truth. The best we can do is to be tolerant of both sides of our nature--knowing that these reflect the twin aspect of the universe--and learn from whatever wisdom is offered.”

“Faith keeps our ships moving, while empathy and the memories of our experiences lead to wisdom.”

“But the character of the music emphasized the tale as allegory--humorous, poignant, humane allegory--disclosing the metamorphosis of life itself, in which man moves from confident inexperience through the bitterness of experience, toward the rueful wisdom of self-knowledge.”

“A retired veteran rarely returns to the spotlight; when he does, it is never without reason. It is experience speaking, history seeking to be heard, and wisdom calling for attention.”
