One true king knew when to step aside and give up the reins of power—to remove his crown and relinquish his kingdom—all for the sake of glimpsing, just once in a lifetime, the face of a holy child.He was the Fourth to follow the Star.His gift was a secret.The rest of his journey is unknown.
They say that wisdom is a dying flower, and I disagree. In a world covered in mud, the lotus still continues to grow. Even after mankind washes itself away from the surface of the earth, knowledge will still remain. Look no further than the bosom of Nature. It offers all the solutions needed to cure and unite humanity. Wise men only exist as interpreters and transmitters of Truth. Their time on earth is limited, but Nature's existence is eternal. Open books shall always exist for those with an opened eye and pure heart; for Truth can only be seen by those with truth in them.
The real value of intellectuals is not just the value of their intellect but the impact. The distinctive footprints they are able to leave on minds with their wit whilst they live and how such footprints give latter days minds something to ponder over long after they are gone!
People think that whatever comes out of the mouth of a wise man is the choicest gem, sometime it's utter stupidity and rubbish
True freedom is in not having a master, but in making the master your slave
If you think you can't, you're wrong and right
We are looking for value, guidance, advice, inspiration; for someone to show us the way. When we find him, he is our hero
True understanding lies beyond the desert
Keeping hatred against someone is like helping him to torture you
You are what you believe
Experience is hard to acquire. Only the wise acquire it
A good man can be destroyed by the association with men of evil character. A wise man can learn from them
If there is no reward, there is no reason to run
Know the laws before you break them
Please others and you please yourself
Calm is the best revenge
Some people have the license to sin: Soldiers, to kill; politicians, writers, priests, businessmen, married man and women, to lie; and married couples to have sex
You can have some, but not all. Wanting to have it all is a sure recipe for disaster
If you want an abscess to cure you must press it hard
It's always easy to conquer the hungry with a piece of bread. Only the wise can conquer the strong
It's not what we can do that makes us great, but what we can do but don't which make us great
Even if you are not evil, pretend to be. It will put off some abuse
The hardest thing is a man to truly know himself
Life is a sweet sour adventure. When you want to go it becomes sweet, when you remain, it becomes sour
The problem with satisfaction is it's a bottomless pit
Forget about the great astounding victory. Focus on winning small victories every day, the final victory will come by itself
You cannot skip the beginning and hope to reach the end. You will fall as soon as you get there
The greatest wisdom is to be happy
Our hearts and prayers will always be with you.
Develop what you have. Project it to the world. God will put a star up there on you. Then the wise men will look for you as they looked for Christ. They are going to bring the gold, the frankinsence and the myrrh. Even if you are hiding in the sheep's pen, they will find you once the star directs them!
They wonder much to hear that gold which in itself is so useless a thing, should be everywhere so much esteemed, that even men for whom it was made, and by whom it has value, should yet be thought of less value than this metal. That a man of lead, who has no more sense than a log of wood, and is as bad as he is foolish, should have many wise and good men to serve him, only because he has a great heap of that metal...
This conflict between right and fact has endured since the origins of society. To bring the duel to an end, to consolidate the pure ideal with the human reality, to make the right peacefully interpenetrate the fact, and the fact the right, this is the work of the wise.
