The world today is divided into the free and the enslaved.
You will rarely make wise decisions if you surround yourself with fools
Wisdom is merely the movement from fighting life to embracing it.
Odd how we focus on studying wars at at school to form our 'education'. No wonder we know so little about making and forging peace as adults.
Take a walk outside - it will serve you far more than pacing around in your mind.
Some strive to make themselves great. Others help others see and find their own greatness. It's the latter who really enrich the world we live in

There's always the question of time. Does time at 10:00 mean 10:00 sharp? Or does it mean give or take a few minutes? And a few minutes, is that plus or minus two minutes? Or plus or minus ten, or maybe a half an hour each way?

The groves and thickets of smaller trees are full of blooming evergreen vines. These vines are not arranged in separate groups, or in delicate wreaths, but in bossy walls and heavy, mound-like heaps and banks. Am made to feel that I am now in a strange land.

To create a work of art, great or small, is work, hard work, and work requires discipline and order.
