Evening, Wisdom and Beauty



It is obvious that we can no more explain a passion to a person who has never experienced it than we can explain light to the blind. ~ T. S. Eliot



Trust your own instinct. Your mistakes might as well be your own, instead of someone else's. ~ Billy Wilder



Trust your hunches. They're usually based on facts filed away just below the conscious level. ~ Joyce Brothers



The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom. ~ Isaac Asimov, Isaac Asimov's Book of Science and Nature Quotations, 1988

Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers. ~ Alfred Lord Tennyson



Wisdom outweighs any wealth. ~ Sophocles

  8. Each one of us has a unique language even though many may be speaking English. The secret then is to translate what everyone is saying into your own language. Then we may come close to understanding anothers perspective.
