“We may think we live for wisdom, but in fact we're living for the the pleasure wisdom brings us.”

“God’s wisdom, true wisdom, is essential to living the life we were designed to live. Apart from God and his wisdom, we can spend a lot of time and energy getting lost, or worse, asking for directions from people who only pretend to know the way.”

“God will bring people and events into our lives, and whatever we may think about them, they are designed for the evolution of His life in us.”

“Endless invention, endless experiment,Brings knowledge of motion, but not of stillness;Knowledge of speech, but not of silence;Knowledge of words, and ignorance of the Word.Where is the Life we have lost in living?Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge?”

“Books are but waste paper unless we spend in action the wisdom we get from thought - asleep. When we are weary of the living, we may repair to the dead, who have nothing of peevishness, pride, or design in their conversation.”

“So teach us to number our days, so that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.”
