Wisdom Quote by Dark Night Beacon — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Wisdom is not a product of schooling but of the lifelong attempt to acquire it.”

“We shall live to die once more.”

“re-examine all you have been told in school or church or in any book, and dismiss whatever insults your own soul; and your very flesh shall be a great poem, and have the richest fluency, not only in its words, but in the silent lines of its lips and face, and between the lashes of your eyes, and in every motion and joint of your body.”

“Recognizing power in another does not diminish your own.”

“My friends, may good fortune guide you through the day to come, whether you go to your rest or start about your business. Young or old, swift or slow, strong or weak, hunter or hunted, may you fare well until we meet once more.”

“It seems that a profound, impartial, and absolutely just opinion of our fellow-creatures is utterly unknown. Either we are men, or we are women. Either we are cold, or we are sentimental. Either we are young, or growing old. In any case life is but a procession of shadows, and God knows why it is that we embrace them so eagerly, and see them depart with such anguish, being shadows. And why, if this -- and much more than this is true -- why are we yet surprised in the window corner by a sudden vision that the young man in the chair is of all things in the world the most real, the most solid, the best known to us--why indeed? For the moment after we know nothing about him.”
