Sometimes one act of kindness is all it takes to give you hope again.
The truth is that personality inevitably bleeds into all forms of our intellectual life. We all extrapolate from our own lives in order to understand the world.
Knowledge is learning something every day. Wisdom is letting go of something every day.
Take a little time to be amazed by something you won't enjoy unless you consciously choose to focus on it. See the things you can't see when you're rushing. Hear the things you can't hear when you're stressing. Get so caught up in your senses that everything else seems to stop for a moment- because things don't actually stop. So we have to be the ones to do it.
Choose your battles wisely. After all, life isn't measured by how many times you stood up to fight. It's not winning battles that makes you happy, but it's how many times you turned away and chose to look into a better direction. Life is too short to spend it on warring. Fight only the most, most, most important ones, let the rest go.
Wisdom... comes not from age, but from education and learning.
Life is a mirror: if you frown at it, it frowns back; if you smile, it returns the greeting.
Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass... it's about learning to dance in the rain.
You'll never move forward dragging the weight of your past behind you.
Raise your words, not your voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.
