"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 "That which seems the height of absurdity in one generation often becomes the height of wisdom in another."― Adlai E. Stevenson "It is good even for old men to learn wisdom."― Aeschylus "If you were to offer a thirsty man all wisdom, you would not please him more than if you gave him a drink."― Sophocles
