I believe the first draft of a book - even a long one - should take no more than three months…Any longer and - for me, at least - the story begins to take on an odd foreign feel, like a dispatch from the Romanian Department of Public Affairs, or something broadcast on high-band shortwave duiring a period of severe sunspot activity.
There is no bigger weapon than brain, yet the time is more powerful in the World.
Free time is a terrible thing to waste. Read a book.
If you were destined to be a poet, then you won't brainstorm for lines that rhymes. If you were destined to be a celebrity, then you shouldn't start searching for fans. If you are truly a god, then let others worship you!
Only a mind free of impediment is capable of grasping the chaotic beauty of the world. This is our greatest asset.
We inter-change ideas. You can stay in the United States and inspire people in Indonesia. You can stay in Ghana and inspire people in Turkey. You can stay in Nigeria and inspire people in cote'd voire. You can stay in Senegal and inspire people in China and vice versa.
Who in the universe halts when the enemy tells them to?
Don't drive a car in the dream, else you won't drive it on earth. Don't wish to become, else you won't become. Don't associate with fools, else your ancestors will be insulted. Don't be addicted to wine, else your pocket will be empty. Don't be drunk, else you'll be attacked.
We are in the world to support one another.
What matters is your convictions.
Words are confessions of your actions. Choose them wisely.
Your words are wise, but are your actions too?
Wisdom is not counted in grammers, niether in fluency, but vividly shown in mannerism.
Take good care of your final word. If your final say will hunt you in day's ahead, then hold back the words, and let silence speak.
Everybody learns from their own mistakes.
The wise learn from mistakes others make.
The wise will hide your follies and help you learn, but the wicked ones will gossip about it with scoundrels.
I was always an unusual girl.
My mother told me I had a chameleon soul, no moral compass pointing due north, no fixed personality; just an inner indecisiveness that was as wide and as wavering as the ocean.
Although I'm only fourteen, I know quite well what I want, I know who is right and who is wrong. I have my opinions, my own ideas and principles, and although it may sound pretty mad from an adolescent, I feel more of a person than a child, I feel quite indepedent of anyone.
Like a missing tooth, sometimes an absence is more noticeable than a presence.
Many people die long before their departure date,
Through ignorance of living a life they never wanted to be apart of but are to scared to change.
We need not take refuge in supernatural gods to explain our saints and sages and heroes and statesmen, as if to explain our disbelief that mere unaided human beings could be that good or wise.

His gift was a secret.
The rest of his journey is unknown.

No tollways to be wise.
Wisdom comes from reflection.
Be beautiful if you can, wise if you want to, but be respected - that is essential.

But Johannes had said, "Politeness is something you owe other people, because when you show a little courtesy, everything becomes easier and better. But first and foremost, it's something you owe yourself. You are David.
A wise person is like a smoothly polished rock: it takes time to become either.
Johannes had once said that violence and cruelty were just a stupid person's way of making himself felt, because it was easer to use your hands to strike a blow than to use your brain to find a logical and just solution to the problem.

Paradise is no whim.
It takes time and trust,
You see.
Money can buy you knowledge, but not the wisdom to use it wisely.

Life gives us many test. We must graciously take each test!
Elohim! Elohim!

God doesn't expect us to be a walking encyclopedia of biblical knowledge. He wants us to know Him, to be in a relationship with Him. This means not only hearing but allowing our understanding of God to change the way we live. Like the wise builder who laid the foundation of his house on the rock, we learn to let our knowledge of God change us.

Son: 'Mum,
Tell me about love, how will I know if she's the one?
Mum: ' son, if there's one thing I could teach about love its to Embrace it when it touches your heart, & to release it when it's stagnating your journey. Love is not a maybe thing & if it doesn't change you in someway it's not worthy of your essence.
Truth can hurt, but truth will bring you justice. Embrace the pain, and the truth shall set you free.
The choice to make good choices is the best choice you can choose. Fail to make that choice and on most choices you will lose.
Death is not an option. Death is inevitable. But death is a choice.
Whatever choice you make makes you. Choose wisely.
The better we become, the higher we climb. The higher we climb, the bigger our ego. The bigger the ego, the harder it is for us to look at others the same way we did before as we can get so full of ourselves we lose our true self. Always be humble. Even if you're good. Always.
The humble one is the better one.
A bird & a fish can fall in love, but where do they make a home?

A wise system of education will at least teach us how little man yet knows, how much he has still to learn.
The faithless are surprised, that the faithful put no faith in them; the infidels are astounded that the wise do not put trust in them. After all we don't entrust cement to grow abundant foliage.
The written word is all that stands between memory and oblivion. Without books as our anchors, we are cast adrift, neither teaching nor learning. They are windows on the past, mirrors on the present, and prisms reflected all possible futures. Books are lighthouses erected on the dark sea of time.
Time cannot be saved, it can only be spent, and if not spent wisely and well, it is wasted.
Never give up on a dream because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway.
I want to be a wise woman
I’m just a girl, Mom.”

It's the questions we can't answer that teach us the most. They teach us how to think. If you give a man an answer, all he gains is a little fact. But give him a question and he'll look for his own answers.
Divide and rule, the politician cries;
Unite and lead, is watchword of the wise.

I admit, that the brain does not govern the body as well as one might wish- else all men would be saints and hell would be empty of lechers.
