I was taught by family at ten.I was taught by books at twenty.I was taught by enemies at thirty.I was taught by nature at forty.I was taught by life at fifty.At ten, I was foolish.At twenty, I was naïve.At thirty, I was alert.At forty, I was experienced.At fifty, I was wise.

Quote
When I was weak, I was full of fear.When I was strong, I was full of hope.When I was a happy, I was full of peace.When I was a sad, I was full of suffering.When I was poor, I was full of gratitude.When I was rich, I was full of longing.When I was wise, I was full of grace.When I was foolish, I was full of ignorance. When I was a child, I was full of joy.When I was a youth, I was full of laughter.When I was an adult, I was full of trouble.When I was an elder, I was full of wisdom.

Quote
Truth has no ears. Ignorance has no eyes. Fear has no hands. Lust has no mind. Hate has no heart. Evil has no soul.Instinct has lips to speak to the mind.Hope has feet to carry the heart.Joy has hands to lift the soul.Truth has eyes to see the world. Love has ears to hear the universe.
