A new baby is a fresh chapter of wonder, reminding us of life’s boundless possibilities and the miracle of each new beginning.

There is a trade off - as you grow older you gain wisdom but you lose spontaneity.

Kenny Rogers

The darkest night that ever fell upon the earth never hid the light, never put out the stars. It only made the stars more keenly, kindly glancing, as if in protest against the darkness.
George Eliot

God, give us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, courage to change the things which should be changed and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.

Reinhold Niebuhr

Hold up your head! You were not made for failure, you were made for victory. Go forward with a joyful confidence.

Lord, please bless me with the ability to achieve just a little bit until I die, and without realizing how dumb all those humans are that made it impossible.

I think I got a lot of life skills; I got a lot of wisdom; I've seen a lot of bad things happen to a lot of good people.

I love the early sonatas; I love the early Mozart, period. I'm really fond of that moment when he was either emulating Haydn or Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach or anybody but himself. The moment he found himself, as conventional wisdom would have it, at the age of 18 or 19 or 20, I stop being so interested in him.

Once you realize the future is always uncertain and you can’t ever be 100% sure of any decision or have control over the outcome, it is easier to actually go ahead and decide.
- Annie Duke

There's the conventional wisdom, of which I have none, where you get a record deal, you get a publicist, you get a campaign, and you do the tour, but none of that adds up to things like nuance and subtlety and dynamic.

Knowledge is not just the preserve of the educated elite. Just because someone has not had a formal education, that does not mean he does not have wisdom and common sense.

The next time you experience a blackout, take some solace by looking at the sky. You will not recognize it.
