Reflections on wisdom: 2

Do you need wise quotes about life to think about? Today I present a collection of wise phrases: phrases that make you think and make you smarter.

“When a fool takes a road, the road ends and the fool follows.”

This phrase refers to the fact that when a fool takes a road, nothing stops him. The fool goes on no matter what: no matter that the neighbors protest, that people are starving, etc., the fool goes on blinded by ignorance, without reflecting on anything.

“Occasion must be created, not waited for.” (Francis Bacon)

This phrase refers to the fact that opportunities must be sought, they will not come by themselves. In other words, if we want something, we have to fight for it.

“The wise are those who seek wisdom; fools think they have found it” (Napoleon)

The wise are humble, and this humility allows them to keep growing because they are constantly seeking learning.

“He is not poor who has little, but he who desires much” (Seneca)

This phrase is the same as the phrase “He is not richer who has the most, but he who needs the least”, and it refers to the fact that people who want or need the least material things are definitely the ones who are going to be happier in life. Having a lot does not mean being happier, for if one is content with little, one does not need to have a lot of wealth.

“A man who does not feed on his dreams grows old soon.” William Shakespeare

Having dreams to pursue and goals to strive for is the engine that keeps us alive. Therefore, working every day to achieve them is the best way to stay young. One of the most beautiful and inspiring quotes about life.
