"Wisdom prepares for the worst, but folly leaves the worst for the day when it comes." ― Richard Cecil Topic(s): Wisdom More From Richard Cecil "God’s way of answering the Christian’s prayer for more patience, experience, hope and love often is to put him into the furnace of affliction." "Every year of my life I grow more convinced that it is wisest and best to fix our attention on the beautiful and the good, and dwell as little as possible on the evil and the false." More In Wisdom "My mom calls me an older soul because, growing up, she taught me stuff real early. Now I spend most of my time chasing wisdom, chasing understanding."― Ray Lewis "I believe we have become paralyzed, paralyzed by our desire to be loved. Now our founding fathers had the wisdom to know that social acceptance and popularity were fleeing, and that this country’s principles needed to be rooted in strengths greater than the passions and the emotions of the times."― Chris Christie "Authority without wisdom is like a heavy ax without an edge, fitter to bruise than polish."― Anne Bradstreet
