Wisdom Quote by Ayisha Bhatti — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Reason can justify the most evil act as it condemns the most noble one.”

“The difficult life of the illuminated heart is not a life that has escaped difficulty. It is a life in which difficulty has been deprived of its power to have the final word.”

“We have become, without realizing it, the most demanding audience our own life has ever had.”

“This is a pale reflection of a deeper truth: that the One who created us holds us with a constancy that does not require our acknowledgment. The thread is not diminished by our forgetting. It is simply waiting for us to turn and recognize it again.”

“The open hand receives what the closed fist could never contain.”

“The morning is not the ramp to the rest of the day. It is the day's first gift — offered fresh, without condition, before we have done anything to earn it or anything to diminish it. How we receive it shapes everything that follows.”

“So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half asleep even when they're busy doing things they think are important. This is because they're chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.”

“Live. For Now. For the time being.”

By that I mean: the art of sipping the nectar of pleasure from every fruit—even those gone rotten—that life offers.”

“Thirty-nine years of my life had passed before I understood that clouds were not my enemy; that they were beautiful, and that I needed them. I suppose this, for me, marked the beginning of wisdom. Life is short.”
