"The weak have remedies, the wise have joys; superior wisdom is superior bliss." ― Edward Young Topic(s): Wisdom More From Edward Young "Our birth is nothing but our death begun, As tapers waste the moment they take fire." "Life is the desert, life the solitude, death joins us to the great majority." "The maid that loves goes out to sea upon a shattered plank, and puts her trust in miracles for safety."

It often means the opposite."― Thomas Sowell "This fear of the Lord is indeed the beginning of wisdom. This consciousness of sin is the straight pathway to heaven."― Joseph Barber Lightfoot "Tis but a part we see, and not a whole."― Alexander Pope
