Wisdom Quote by Donna Goddard — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Life is energy and, as such, it belongs to all, reaches all, and blesses all.”

“Sometimes, to protect a secret we will say it so openly that most will not suspect the truth of what we are saying.”

“Passion is not a luxury or a diversion. It is the pathway into coherence. Our brains are wired for alignment. If we listen to what draws us, even in small ways, we begin to live from this state. Following what excites and enlivens us is the most direct way to live in harmony with life itself.”

“The question is: do you want suffering or do you want peace? It's that simple.”

“When we do what we love, our whole being aligns. Passion gathers the scattered energies of the mind. The chatter subsides, the doubts quieten, and we slip into a rhythm where the mind, body, and spirit coordinate as one. Insights come. Connections appear. Solutions arrive without strain.”

“We may talk lightly but never carelessly. We keep at bay the flow of common, ignorant thought which runs its damaging course through the pathways of ordinary human conversation.”

“Life changes us. To wish otherwise is pointless.”

“Wisdom. . .is knowing what you have to accept.”

“It is man's unique privilege, among all other organisms. By pursuing falsehood you will arrive at the truth!”

“If love goes too far, it turns into cruelty.”

“Everybody is a story. When I was a child, people sat around kitchen tables and told their stories. We don't do that so much anymore. Sitting around the table telling stories is not just a way of passing time. It is the way the wisdom gets passed along. The stuff that helps us to live a life worth remembering.”

“I wrote "David" because it seemed to me that children, who can love a book more passionately than any grown person, got such a lot of harmless entertainment and not enough real, valuable literature.”
