Wisdom Quote by Juan Pablo Quiñonez — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“We are expressions of life, figuring out how to be with ourselves, our shadows, and the world around us. The sooner we realize this, the less suffering we’ll create.”

“The actions aligned with the insight of interbeing reinforce the notion that we are all connected. They integrate, not separate. They are for all of humanity, not just my country. They encourage the emergence of wisdom in all of us, and they are not just for humanity but for all living beings.”

“To risk life to save a smile on a face of a woman or a child is the secret of chivalry.”

“Earthlings went on being friendly, when they should have been thinking instead.”

“This being human is a guest house. Every morning is a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor...Welcome and entertain them all. Treat each guest honorably. The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in. Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.”

“As Hegel said, tragedy was not the conflict between right and wrong but right and right, a dilemma none of us who wanted to participate in history could escape. The major had the right to live, and I was right to kill him. Wasn't I?”

“Even as a solid rock is unshaken by the wind, so are the wise unshaken by praise or blame.”

“Reading all the quotes in the world won’t make you or me into Plato, Gandhi Or Einstein, just like watching hundreds games of soccer won’t make you a soccer player or taking a yoga class will make u a yogini, or reading a golf book will make you a golfer. We need to put the Knowledge to practice and that is the challenge. Put it to work for you, make the effort to Follow Through”
