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

“We are not the only intelligence in the conversation. We are simply the ones who keep forgetting to listen. The world has been speaking since before we arrived, and it will continue long after. The only question is how many of its sentences we will be present enough to receive.”

“Wisdom lives in silence. Not the wisdom of accumulated information, which is only knowledge, but the wisdom that comes from sitting with experience long enough to understand what it was actually teaching. Hurry gives us events. Silence gives us meaning.”

“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.”

“Every moment we truly inhabit is a moment we do not lose. It becomes part of us — not a memory stored in the archive of the past, but a thread woven into the fabric of who we are. Presence is the only thing time cannot take.”

“There is a ground. A knowing, below the feeling, that this day — this particular, unrepeatable, never-to-come-again arrangement of hours — has been given. Not happened. Given. And that the One who gave it is present in every hour of it, available in every moment, closer than the heartbeat.”

“Silence will speak”

“Silence does not always mark wisdom.”

“We know that for mankind to move forward, changes must be made. However, if an old man is wise only by his gray hair, yet it is inevitable that this wisdom will also become impaired by age, then it can be deduced that we cannot expect the very old or very young to make progressive strides to better society, it must be up to the men and women still in the prime of their lives to re-learn and teach the changes needed to be made.”

“I came to set fire to the earth. And I am watchful that the fire grow.”

“Jeremiah has come to see life as a serious of motions he must enact towards its conclusion.”

“A fool's paradise is a wise man's hell.”
