wisdom well

• losing desire is like losing your life
• holding onto fears gives them power
• patience cures everything
• count your blessings
• you can't force someone to like you
• providence helps those who help themselves
• be afraid only of standing still
• be a player, not a spectator
• no one can tell you who you are
• knowledge is received; wisdom is gained
• everything you think affects your spirit, your mood, and your ability to contribute to others
• nothing stays the same
• envy and fear are major cause of hatred
• do not fight a battle if there is nothing to win
