What is the wisest thing you have heard?

How about you share something fascinating and share what you find interesting about it. Let me start:

“In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on.”
― Robert Frost

Without doubt an obvious statement, yet we tend to forget. :dry:
No matter what kind of triumphs or tragedies happen to people, life goes on. We're all just dust in the wind. :blink:

I didn't write the next part, nonetheless, I agree:

In those three simple words “It goes on” is contained the kernel of a philosophy that can transform our world. It can lead us out of the darkness of cant, hypocrisy and selfish materialism into the light of understanding; an understanding of the true nature of life and consciousness that can free us from the fears that constantly haunt the minds of millions in this desperately sad world we have created. :S

"Don't sweat the small stuff." "It's all small stuff."

I don't remember where I got that from. It's not mine.

I'd say something like, "Keep the curtin inside the shower." but that isn't mine either.

Nothing is mine. Everything is everyone elses. We all have nothing and everything. :huh: That's the best I got. If it's nothing then it's everything.

George Burns was the first person I heard say it. And that was quite a long while ago!

"The Force is one...it encompasses all opposites. Truth and lies, life and death...light and dark and good and evil. They're all each other, because each thing and everything is the same thing. The Force is one."

--Matthew Stover

"Do not be afraid."

-Buddha and Jesus

Both of these enlightened people have dealt with fear, especially the most common one: the fear d death. Buddha achieved Nirvana and Jesus came back from the dead, but it was before that that they told their disciples to stop their constant fear of what's to come. Nothing soothes me quite like those words.

Aum

There is nothing you must say and no one you must see.
There is nothing you must do and nowhere you must go.
That is the wonderful, terrible truth of life.
- Tom Veitch

I study philosophy. I've read dozens of books of countless philosophers but it's Star Wars comic book author Tom Veitch that owns them all through the character of Jedi Master Thon.

The Force takes care of the universe. There is no need to struggle with life. There is no chance to escape your destiny. If I die this instant, it will be alright. If I don't die this instant... well, then let's see what can be made of this lifetime!

This is one of my most memorable:

"Goodness without knowledge is weak and feeble, and knowledge without goodness is dangerous, yet both united form the noblest character and lay the surest foundation of usefulness to mankind.

- John Phillips (the teacher)

"Only one way to find out!"

"Money buys happiness, guaranteed. It also buys sadness and depression, lonely and supression, death and destruction, despair and never forgiveness."

"You are not alone."

I have a book with this title (I'm not sure where it is at the moment). I don't remember who wrote it, but it's out there. Not a bad book, actually.

The circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant, it is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are --Mew Two

I feel a little silly saying that, but when i was a little child, that one line had a very profound affect on me, actually, its all i remember from the first Pokemon Movie. I have lived that way my whole life ever since hearing him say that.

"It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell." -Buddha

I trust in Buddha, but I will still tie up my camel!

“Do not argue with an idiot they drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.”

― Mark Twain

Love may be blind, but marriage will open your eyes.

Wish knew the name of the customer that said that today :laugh:
