Be confident enough that you won't settle for a compromise just to get by.

If I do not consider myself wise enough, I would go mad. I have to have faith in myself, in my sort of wisdom. But I do not have any examples of a great wisdom. I do, however, have great examples of whatever the wisdom I might have. That I can relate to you if you would like to know it?

I never that about that but I am pretty sure that I could consider myself as being wise.....
If you are happy with yourself then anything in life will be able to be accomplished.
Something that I live by everyday..I think its pretty wise.

Don't discard us fools, you can learn a lot from them too.
But I think you may only settle for wisdom, pity.
- If you don't know where you're going ---- you ain't lost
- If you sing for your supper, people will shower you with tomatoes.
- When your ship finally comes in, you'll probably be at the airport.
- The moment you get your sh*t together, somebody is bound to flush it.

The only factor which makes one wise is the realization of their own ignorance

I'm wise enough to know how very much I don't know. I'm wise enough to know that as long as I live, life will continue to teach me lessons.

My favorite quote:
You should not seek love but you should not wait for it either.
and:
There is no "best" political view, not even democracy or of course comunism, not even in the middle. The best one is both, I mean by taking the good parts from democracy (freedom) and the best part from comunism (equality). Combining these two you may find your country in a good position. Comunism has it`s good and bad (though this is the worst kind of goverment) and democracy as well.
(this is by me)

Forget yearning for happiness. That makes it a goal and goals are hard to achieve. Instead surround yourself with good people and good atmosphere and happiness is no longer a goal but a byproduct.

I was going to say no because of the situation I am in but I want to say THANK YOU TO KEVIN because he just gave me the answer I was looking for lately and the motivation, determination, and push I needed to make things better!

I was wise enough not to answer, but then I had this awful realisation you wouldn't witness how wise I was.
