Quote of the Day - Becoming Wise

"We don't receive wisdom; we must discover it for ourselves after a journey that no one can take for us or spare us." - Marcel Proust 

My Quotation Journal

I am almost finished with the journal and am working on transferring all the quotes to a Word Document, in case there is ever a fire and all the words get burned to ashes. I hope to give this journal to someone special some day. From my eyes, it is one of the best gifts I could ever give, not only because of what the journal means to me, how precious it is, but also because of all the ideas and bits of life advice it contains.

"Wisdom begins when you discover the difference between 'That doesn't make sense' and 'I don't understand." - Mary Doria Russell, Children of God

"To educate the wise man the state exists, and with the appearance of the wise man the state expires." -Emerson, "On Politics"
