Wisdom is knowledge tempered by time, rightly applied, and offered to those who seek a better understanding of their future.
Those who carry wisdom give more of themselves than is visible in the moment it is shared. They are teachers of the future, though they serve only for a short time. Wisdom is earned the hard way — blunt, sharp, and rare. Learn to recognize it when it stands before you in truth.
Keep your mind open. You never know when you will stand in the presence of wisdom.
Days are long.
Life is short.
All problems are resolved in the end.
Life reveals its quiet truths sparingly,
but in the end, it wastes nothing.
Here’s to the next stage —
on the other side.
