He who acts, spoils; he who grasps, lets slip.
Lao TzuTag: wisdom
Take the matter as you find it ask no questions, utter no remonstrances; it is your best wisdom. You expected bread and you have got a stone: break your teeth on it, and don't shriek because the nerves are martyrised; do not doubt that your mental stomach - if you have such a thing - is strong as an ostrich's; the stone will digest. You held out your hand for an egg, and fate put into it a scorpion. Show no consternation; close your fingers firmly upon the gift; let it sting through your palm. Never mind; in time, after your hand and arm have swelled and quivered long with torture, the squeezed scorpion will die, and you will have learned the great lesson how to endure without a sob.

Carmen Martín GaiteA great many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices.

Trees are poems the earth writes upon the sky, We fell them down and turn them into paper,
That we may record our emptiness.
I have always felt that doubt was the beginning of wisdom, and the fear of God was the end of wisdom.
