"Wisdom is not the product of thought. The deep knowing that is wisdom arises through the simple act of giving something or someone your full attention. Attention is primordial intelligence, consciousness itself. It dissolves the barriers created by conceptual thought and with this comes the recognition that nothing exists in and by itself. It joins the perceiver and the perceived in a unifying field of awareness. It is the healer of separation." ~Eckhart Tolle

"He who surrenders his intellect to that of the other: for ideology, creed, or belief's sake, commits the supreme act of denying his ownself." ~Alek Boyd
"Healers are spiritual warriors who have found the courage to defeat the darkness of their soul, awakening and rising from the depths of their deepest fears, like a Phoenix rising from the ashes. Reborn with a wisdom and strength that creates a light that shines bright enough to help, encourage and inspire others out of their own darkness." ~Melanie Koulouris
"I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge. That myth is more potent than history. That dreams are more powerful than facts. That hope always triumphs over experience. That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death." ~From Nenita Clavano

"Intellectual brilliance is no guarantee against being dead wrong." ~David Fasold
"Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death." ~Albert Einstein
"Men like Henry George are rare unfortunately. One cannot imagine a more beautiful combination of intellectual keenness, artistic form and fervent love of justice. Every line is written as if for our generation. The spreading of these works is a really deserving cause, for our generation especially has many and important things to learn from Henry George." ~Albert Einstein
"Only the intelligent ones feel confusion; otherwise the mediocre go on moving in life, smiling, laughing, accumulating money, struggling for more power and fame. If you see them you will feel a little jealous; they look so confident, they even look happy."...~Osho
"Our self esteem can often take a knock when the ones we love are critical. Our inner judge grabs hold of the illusion and uses it against you to make you feel bad about yourself. Don't let it, dig deep and find your inner strength to say 'No, that is not true', my true wisdom knows the truth and find ways to improve your thinking, what is great about you....and to not let other people's perceptions be your truth. So, in case you forget remind yourself of this..." ~Di Riseborough-Intuitive Life Strategist
“The difference between a simpleton and an intelligent man, according to the man who is convinced that he is of the latter category, is that the former wholeheartedly accepts all things that he sees and hears while the latter never admits anything except after a most searching scrutiny. He imagines his intelligence to be a sieve of closely woven mesh through which nothing but the finest can pass." ~R K Narayan
"The offer of certainty, the offer of complete security, the offer of an impermeable faith that can’t give way, is an offer of something not worth having. I want to live my life taking the risk all the time that I don’t know anything like enough yet; that I haven’t understood enough; that I can’t know enough; that I’m always hungrily operating on the margins of a potentially great harvest of future knowledge and wisdom. I wouldn’t have it any other way." ~Christopher Hitchens
"The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom." ~Isaac Asimov
"The wisdom we gain from our pain or tragedies are important to other people, guideposts they can learn something from in life." ~George Daniel Anos

Wisdom is knowing what to do next;
Virtue is actually doing it."

"When the storm of life comes howling and raging outside your window; when you look that tempest in the eye, there will be a quickening in your instincts.

"Words are expressions of the intellect, which is cold and dry and slightly robotic." ~Jonathan Cainer
“Your soul awakens your mind.
Your mind makes your choices.
Your choices manifest your life.
Your life is your lesson.
Your lessons create wisdom.
