What is the quality of your intent Certain people have a way of saying things that shake us at the core. Even when the words do not seem harsh or offensive, the impact is shattering. What we could be experiencing is the intent behind the words. When we intend to do good, we do. When we intend to do harm, it happens. What each of us must come to realize is that our intent always comes through. We cannot sugarcoat the feelings in our heart of hearts. The emotion is the energy that motivates. We cannot ignore what we really want to create. We should be honest and do it the way we feel it. What we owe to ourselves and everyone around is to examine the reasons of our true intentMy intent will be evident in the results

Without courage, wisdom bears no fruit

Books are the ever burning lamps of accumulated wisdom

Just as a cautious businessman avoids investing all his capital in one concern, so wisdom would probably admonish us also not to anticipate all our happiness from one quarter alone

He that can compose himself, is wiser than he that composes books

A library of wisdom, is more precious than all wealth, and all things that are desirable cannot be compared to it. Whoever therefore claims to be zealous of truth, of happiness, of wisdom or knowledge, must become a lover of books

The wisest have the most authority

Arrogance diminishes wisdom

When an argument flares up, the wise man quenches it with silence

Who is like the wise man? Who knows the explanation of things? Wisdom brightens a mans face and changes its hard appearance
