"The truest greatness lies in being kind, the truest wisdom in a happy mind." ― Ella Wheeler Wilcox Topic(s): Wisdom More From Ella Wheeler Wilcox "It has ever been since time began, and ever will be, till time lose breath, that love is a mood – no more – to man, and love to a woman is life or death." "The man who radiates good cheer, who makes life happier wherever he meets it, is always a man of vision and faith." "All love that has not friendship for its base, is like a mansion built upon the sand." More In Wisdom "And I pray thee, loving Jesus, that as Thou hast graciously given me to drink in with delight the words of Thy knowledge, so Thou wouldst mercifully grant me to attain one day to Thee, the fountain of all wisdom and to appear forever before Thy face."― Venerable Bede "This is perhaps the most profound meaning of the book of Job, the best example of wisdom."― Paul Ricoeur "Wisdom is that apprehension of heavenly things to which the spirit rises through love."― Honore de Balzac
