We spend precious hours fearing the inevitable. It would be wise to use that time adoring our families, cherishing our friends and living our lives Picture Quote #1

I need the money, people are very coy about money, and the ladies aren't just coy, they are sci fi about money… …people ask, well, don't sweet things happen? yes, indeed, many sweet things, but sweet doesn't keep you from dying, making love doesn't keep you from dying unless you get paid, writing doesn't keep you from dying unless you get paid, being wise doesn't keep you from dying unless you get paid, facts are facts, being poor makes you face facts which also does not keep you from dying Picture Quote #1

Heaven is in everything: follow the light, hide in the cloudiness and begin in what is. Do this and your understanding will be like not understanding and your wisdom will be like not being wise. By not being wise you will become wise later Picture Quote #1

To fear death, my friends, is only to think ourselves wise, without being wise: for it is to think that we know what we do not know. For anything that men can tell, death may be the greatest good that can happen to them: but they fear it as if they knew quite well that it was the greatest of evils. And what is this but that shameful ignorance of thinking that we know what we do not know? Picture Quote #1

My description of wisdom has nothing to do with benevolence and righteousness, it is to do with being wise in one’s own virtue, nothing more. My description of being has nothing to do with benevolence and righteousness, it is that one should be led by one’s innate nature, nothing more Picture Quote #1

You become a superpower by being strong but also by being wise and by being farsighted. But no state is strong or wise enough to create a world order alone Picture Quote #1
