Wisdom is not only found in the writings of the famous; some of the most beautiful words of wisdom I have received have come from my friends and family members who know me best. Wisdom is Love: The Greatest Gift One Generation Can Give to Another  One definition of wisdom: "Wisdom is the power to put our time and our knowledge to the proper use." ~ Thomas J. Watson My love for reading has lead me to many, both men and women, who have much wisdom to share. I especially like to read books about wise women  and ponder their life experiences. Beautiful Words of Wisdom About LoveLove isn't how you feel, it's what you do. ~Madeline L'Engle (1918-2007), Wind in the Door, 1974God is Love. Therefore love. Without distinction, without calculation, without procrastination, love. Lavish it upon the poor, where it is very easy; especially upon the rich, who often need it most; most of all upon our equals, where it is very difficult, and for whom perhaps we each do least of all. ~Henry Drummond (1851-1897), The Greatest Thing in the World, 1892
Some day, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love.
And then, for the second time in the history of the world,
man will discover fire. ~ Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (1881-1955)
Beautiful Words of Wisdom About HappinessYou can never get enough of what you don't need to make you happy. ~Eric HofferSuccess is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful. I don't know what your destiny will be, but one thing I do know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who have sought and found how to serve. ~Albert Schweitzer
The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature. ~Anne Frank
Beautiful Words of Wisdom About LifeAnd in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years. ~Abraham LincolnHow is one to live a moral and compassionate existence when one is fully aware of the blood, the horror inherent in life, when one finds darkness not only in one's culture but within oneself? If there is a stage at which an individual life becomes truly adult, it must be when one grasps the irony in its unfolding and accepts responsibility for a life lived in the midst of such paradox. One must live in the middle of contradiction, because if all contradiction were eliminated at once life would collapse. There are simply no answers to some of the great pressing questions. You continue to live them out, making y our life a worthy expression of leaning into the light. ~Barry Lopez, Arctic Dreams How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives. ~Annie Dillard Time is a companion that goes with us on a journey. It reminds us to cherish each moment, because it will never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we have lived. ~Captain Jean-Luc Picard, played by Patrick Stewart, from the film "Star Trek: Generations" Because I have loved life, I shall have no sorrow to die. ~ Amelia Burr
