Harvesting Wisdom

Now in my later years I can harvest
the wisdom of my childhood.
I treasure those precious roots knowing
that I have grown wings
and I must move on.
I must let go.

- MacRina Wiederkehr

Wisdom

Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.

- Aristotle

Learning Wisdom

By three methods we may learn wisdom:
First, by reflection, which is noblest;
Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and
Third by experience, which is the bitterest.

- Confucius

The Light of Wisdom

Just as treasures are uncovered from the earth,
so virtue appears from good deeds, and
wisdom appears from a pure and peaceful mind.

To walk safely through the maze of human life,
one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.

- Buddha
