Words of Wisdom

In silence truth is heard.

I read a quote that really spoke to me. It's from Victor Hugo. “Even the darkest night will end, and the sun will rise,” With the world's situation right now, this gives me a little hope. I just have to remind myself this isn't going to last forever. It can't last forever. I really liked @KM76710 and his Dostoevsky quote. "The darker the night, the brighter the stars." I take it to mean the greater the evil the stronger good one's will fight this evil. And all this talk about good and evil and darkness and stars reminds me of this scene from the first season of True Detective. I hope the video isn't too spoilery for those who haven't seen it.

LOL. It does fit me to a T.

I just read something someone posted online.

"What would be a good way to prevent/stop dog fights from happening? Perhaps if we remember that we are not dogs, or not THEIR dogs. Perhaps if we prevent them from pitting us against each other for their entertainment. Perhaps if we look out for ourselves, BY WAY OF looking out for our neighbors"

This is lovely, and powerfully true. Thanks for the reminder @JDot

Me as well, especially lately.

So many excellent quotes in here, didn’t read “all” of them (will try to come back soon to do that though) but I read all of the first page, and the last page. I have some to add that I like a lot, have been collecting quotes since I was about 9 years old lol :p

Hopefully none of these are duplicates, I don’t even remember if I might’ve already replied in this thread before lol. Hopefully if I did I put different quotes at least. Anyway, here are the quotes:

1. Those who do not understand your silence will not understand your words either. (Elbert Hubbard)

2. All that we see or seem, is but a dream within a dream. (Edgar Allan Poe)

3. He who has courage and faith shall never perish in misery (Anne Frank)

4. He climbs highest who helps another up.
(Zig Ziglar)
