Since I can't write poems even
to save my life..and I really hate reading them! so, here are some of my
favorite quotes from "The Art of Worldly Wisdom"..
**********************************************************************************
Trust your heart......especially when it is a strong one. Never contradict
it, for usually it can predict the things that matter most:it is a homegrown
oracle. Many perished from what they feared, but what good was fearing
it when they took no steps to prevent it?? Some people have a very loyal
heart, given to them by nature, which always forewarns them and sounds
the alarm, saving them from failure. It is not prudent to rush into troubles,
but it is to meet them halfway, in order to conquer them.
*******************************************************************************
Look deep inside......things are seldom what they seem, and ignorance,
which sees no deeper than the bark, often turns to disillusion when it
penetrates into things. In all things, deceit arrives first, dragging fools
behind it in endless vulgarity. Truth is always late, always late to arrive,
limping along with time.....
*********************************************************************************
Neither love nor hate forever...Treat your friends as though they could
become your worst enemies. Since this happens in reality, let it happen
in foresight. We shouldn't give arms to the turncoats of friendship; they
will wage the worst sort of war with them. On the contrary, when it comes
to enemies, leave the door open to reconsciliation. The door of gallantry
is the surrest one. The pleasure of revenge often turns into torment, and
the satisfaction of having harmed someone often turns to pain...
