James 3:17 ...(T)he wisdom that
is
from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield,
full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without
hypocrisy. 18 Now the
fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace. |
"Anarchism is
founded
on the observation that since few men are wise enough to rule
themselves,
even fewer are wise enough to rule others."
Edward Abbey
"If men of wisdom
and
knowledge, of moderation and temperance, of patience, fortitude and
perseverance,
of sobriety and true republican
simplicity
of manners, of zeal for the honour of the Supreme Being and the welfare
of the commonwealth; if men possessed
of these
other
excellent qualities are chosen to fill the seats of government, we may
expect that our affairs will rest on a solid and
permanent
foundation."
Samuel Adams
"More
than any other time in history, mankind
faces a crossroads. One path
leads
to despair and utter hopelessness. The other, to total
extinction.
Let us pray we have the wisdom to choose correctly."
Woody
Allen
"The wise person
questions
himself, the fool
others."
Henri Arnold
"I have read in Plato and Cicero sayings that are very wise and very beautiful; but I
never read in either of them: 'Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden.'"
St. Augustine
"Love is the first
comforter, and where
love and
truth speak, the love
will be felt where the truth is never perceived. Love indeed is the
highest in all truth; and the pressure of a hand, a kiss, the caress of
a child, will do more to save sometimes than the wisest argument, even
rightly understood. Love alone is wisdom,
love alone is power; and
where love seems to faint it is where self has stepped between and
dulled the potency of its rays."
George MacDonald
"The older I grow the more I distrust the familiar doctrine that age brings wisdom."
H.L. Mencken
