#Wise

"Life, it’s made up of two things—time and love. A watch tells one, but what tells the other? We tell each other."

"Y'all smoke to enjoy it. I smoke to die."

"Be wise enough to forgive; be kind enough to love."

"In the land of Gibberish, the man who makes sense, the man who speaks clearly, clearly speaks nonsense."

"To wait on love is to tie a weight on your heart and slowly drown. Why sink when you can fly by freely giving love away?"

"They say philosophers and wise men are indifferent. Wrong. Indifference is a paralysis of the soul, a premature death."

"What’s the opposite of start? Would the average person think stop or finish? The answer may reflect the difference between a winner and a loser."

"It is impossible to love and to be wise."

"Wisdom equals knowledge plus courage. You have to not only know what to do and when to do it, but you have to also be brave enough to follow through."

"I used to think how lucky she was to have me, but now I realize that’s backwards. A spirit of gratitude yields patience, love, and forgiveness."

"I want to state upfront, unequivocally and without doubt: I do not believe that any racial, ethnic or gender group has an advantage in sound judging. I do believe that every person has an equal opportunity to be a good and wise judge, regardless of their background or life experiences."

"And then something invisible snapped insider her, and that which had come together commenced to fall apart."

"Wisdom is knowing when you are being patient, and when you are wasting time by waiting."

"When I lost her I gained the future, because she was my past, and she freed me to become who I was born to be."

"It takes guts to love with gusto. Most people love as if they wish they were invisible, and then they wonder why their affections go unnoticed."

"I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life."

"Opportunity is not your opponent—it is your ally, but it’s hard to see that because opportunity is often camouflaged and hidden among danger and chaos."

"I love deeply. I love long. I love wide and high. That's right, my love is interdimensional, and my vortex will heal your body and soul."

"Let me just pause a minute and drink in this moment. And if you film it, I’ll be able to get free refills for life."

"I cry, but not for myself. There’s too much sadness in this world to waste a moment with self-pity, when making others smile will also make me smile."
