Crazy Wisdom

George Crabbe:

through the sharp air a flaky torrent flies
mocks the slow sight
and hides the gloomy skies
the fleecy clouds their chilly bosoms bare
and shed their substance on the floating air

Say, will the falcon, stooping from above, smit with her varying plumage, spare the dove? Admires the jay the insect's gilded wings? Or hears the hawk when philomela sings?


who is to answer this as one never knows what is anothers will or mind.

most times I do not even know my own.
 
Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness is never decreased by being shared.

Only two things are infinite : The Universe and Human Stupidity.
And no one really knows about the Universe.

Use, but do not abuse, cunning.
One ought not to delight in it, still less boast of it. Everything artificial should be concealed, most of all cunning, which is hated. Deceit is common, so our caution has to be redoubled, but not so as to show itself, for caution arouses distrust, causes annoyance, awakens revenge, and gives rise to more ills than you would imagine. To go to work with caution is of great advantage in action, and there is no greater proof of wisdom. The greatest skill in any deed consists in the sure mastery with which it is executed.

For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared with it.

Wisdom is the product of living sweetie, as long as you wake up in the morning you will always have some to share. :)

:eek: Why I didn't think of that?! (haahaahaa)

Maybe you haven't lived long enough yet, but you will. :)
The more I live, the more want to live, that's a Chinese saying, something like ... ' I rather you go before me, leave all the sadness with me, and let me miss you.. wait for me on the other side, till we meet again.' I think is so sweet and sad.

Yes "until we meet again" is always sad.

Of all tales 'tis the saddest--and more sad, Because it makes us smile.

Shrine of the mighty! can it be, That this is all remains of thee?
 
To say good bye is to let go because it is final, if but only for a time.

But words are things, and a small drop of ink, Falling, like dew, upon a thought produces That which makes thousands, perhaps millions think.


Thinking thoughts and dreaming dreams...
 
Drain nothing to the dregs, neither good nor bad.
A sage once reduced all virtue to the golden mean. Push right to the extreme and it becomes wrong; press all the juice from an orange and it becomes bitter. Even in enjoyment never go to extremes. Thought too subtle is dull. If you milk a cow too much you draw blood, not milk.
