"Genius unrefined resembles a flash of lightning, but wisdom is like the sun." ― Franz Grillparzer Topic(s): Wisdom More From Franz Grillparzer "Science and art, or by the same token, poetry and prose differ from one another like a journey and an excursion. The purpose of the journey is its goal, the purpose of an excursion is the process." "Whoever places his trust into a system will soon be without a home. While you are building your third story, the two lower ones have already been dismantled." "To declaim freedom verses seems like a poem within a poem; freedom requires guns, it requires arms, but no feet." More In Wisdom "Wise sayings often fall on barren ground, but a kind word is never thrown away."― Arthur Helps "Animals, in their generation, are wiser than the sons of men; but their wisdom is confined to a few particulars, and lies in a very narrow compass."― Joseph Addison "Self-suggestion makes you master of yourself."― W. Clement Stone
