Famous Quotes about wisdom

Robert Fanney famous quote #176

Othalas Words. What are they but shadows on a page or howling on the wind They are as ever-changing as the mists below us and it is just as easy to lose sense of yourself among them. I am older than most sorcerers so what I know may indeed be close to the truth. Magic wyrd words dreams they all come from the spirit. Within them lie both power and peril. For to misuse any is to warp your sense of self. To lie in words or in magic or in dreams -- that is how you become lost. The lights you see they were lost long before they came to the Vale.

L.M. Montgomery quote #87 from Anne of the Island

She had dreamed some brilliant dreams during the past winter and now they lay in the dust around her. In her present mood of self-disgust she could not immediately begin dreaming again. And she discovered that while solitude with dreams is glorious solitude without them has few charms.

Mother Teresa quote #292 from In the Heart of the World: Thoughts

In the silence of the heart God speaks. If you face God in prayer and silence God will speak to you. Then you will know that you are nothing. It is only when you realize your nothingness your emptiness that God can fill you with Himself. Souls of prayer are souls of great silence.

L.M. Montgomery quote #237 from Anne of Green Gables

Why must people kneel down to pray If I really wanted to pray Ill tell you what Id do. Id go out into a great big field all alone or in the deep deep woods and Id look up into the skyupupupinto that lovely blue sky that looks as if there was no end to its blueness. And then Id just feel a prayer.
