Evening, Wisdom and Beauty

The greater part of our happiness or misery depends on our dispositions, and
not on our circumstances. We carry the seeds of the one or the other about
with us in our minds wherever we go.   Martha Washington

We don't receive wisdom; we must discover it for ourselves after a journey
that no one can take for us or spare us.
        Marcel Proust

It is unwise to be too sure of one's own wisdom. It is healthy to be
reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err.
        Mahatma Gandhi
