We have to create culture, don't watch TV, don't read magazines, don't even listen to NPR. Create your own roadshow. The nexus of space and time where you are now is the most immediate sector of your universe, and if you're worrying about Michael Jackson or Bill Clinton or somebody else, then you are disempowered, you're giving it all away to icons, icons which are maintained by an electronic media so that you want to dress like X or have lips like Y. This is shit-brained, this kind of thinking. That is all cultural diversion, and what is real is you and your friends and your associations, your highs, your orgasms, your hopes, your plans, your fears. And we are told 'no', we're unimportant, we're peripheral. 'Get a degree, get a job, get a this, get a that.' And then you're a player, you don't want to even play in that game. You want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash that's being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world.
Terence McKenna
God is the supreme uncreated light of which Wisdom is born, but there was never a time when God's Wisdom did not exist.
Merritt Yerkes Hughes (Ten Perspectives on Milton)
[Y]ou [man] are fool enough, it seems, to dare to war with [woman=] me, when for your faithful ally you might win me easily.
Aristophanes (Lysistrata)
[Y]ou are here to learn something. Don’t try to figure out what it is. This can be frustrating and unproductive.
Steven L. Peck (A Short Stay in Hell)
The older you get, the wiser you are - this is true. But you also question what use this wisdom is.y
David Levithan (Invisibility)
La belleza existe para que podamos apreciarla, y no entiende de cultos, de religiones ni de creencias.
Laura Gallego García (Dos velas para el diablo)
Negeri ini sungguh-sungguh membutuhkan pemberani-pemberani yang gila, asal cerdas. Bukan yang tahu adat, yang berkepribadian pribumi, yang suka harmoni, yang saleh alim, yang nurut model kuli dan babu.
Y.B. Mangunwijaya (Burung-Burung Rantau)
The young man pities his elders, fearing the day he, too, will join their ranks. The elderly man pities the younger generation, well-knowing the trials and tribulations that lie ahead of them.
Lynda I Fisher
Para que sirve el conocimiento sino para compartirlo, difundirlo, multiplicarlo? Aquel que goza y se viste con las joyas del saber, y no arriesga su estabilidad para compartirlo, no merece ninguna de las dos.
Antonio Guadarrama Collado (Cóatl: el misterio de la serpiente)
Si quelques heures font une grande différence dans le cœur de l’homme, faut-il s’en étonner ? Il n’y a qu’une minute de la vie à la mort.
François-René de Chateaubriand
Finding fault with yourself is also the key to overcoming the hypocrisy and judgmentalism that damage so many valuable relationships. The instant you see some contribution you made to a conflict, your anger softens—maybe just a bit, but enough that you might be able to acknowledge some merit on the other side. You can still believe you are right and the other person is wrong, but if you can move to believing that you are mostly right, and your opponent is mostly wrong, you have the basis for an effective and nonhumiliating apology. You can take a small piece of the disagreement and say, “I should not have done X, and I can see why you felt Y.” Then, by the power of reciprocity, the other person will likely feel a strong urge to say, “Yes, I was really upset by X. But I guess I shouldn’t have done P, so I can see why you felt Q.” Reciprocity amplified by self-serving biases drove you apart back when you were matching insults or hostile gestures, but you can turn the process around and use reciprocity to end a conflict and save a relationship.
Jonathan Haidt (The Happiness Hypothesis: Finding Modern Truth in Ancient Wisdom)
Prefiero, señor, obrar bien y fracasar, antes que triunfar con malas artes. Palabras de Neoptólemo a Odiseo, en la tragedia griega Filoctetes.
Sophocles
Miró hacia la biblioteca. Aquella sabiduría no calmaría nunca su fuego; siglos y siglos de palabras no podían satisfacer aquel deseo imperativo e irracional.
Richard Matheson (I Am Legend)
... así estos malévolos, mientras más estudian, peores opiniones engendran; obstrúyeseles el entendimiento con lo mismo que había de alimentarse, y es que estudian mucho y digieren poco, sin proporcionarse al vaso limitado de sus entendimientos.
Juana Inés de la Cruz (Respuesta a Sor Filotea de la Cruz)
Nunca podemos juzgar la vida de los demás, porque cada uno sabe de su propio dolor y de su propia renuncia. Una cosa es suponer que uno está en el camino cierto; otra es suponer que ese camino es el único.
Paulo Coelho (By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept)
[M]y only route was trust: trust in a *deeper* wisdom, the wisdom responsible for making my heart beat, my eyes shine, my hair grow; trust in the infinite intelligence responsible for making my cells replicate; trust in the part of me that is awake when I'm asleep at night.
Brandon Bays (The Journey: A Practical Guide to Healing Your Life and Setting Yourself Free)
The saddest thing you can do as a human is to discuss one person with another for the sake of it. The unkindest thing you can do to a human is to tarnish their reputation in front of others just to make yourself look good. An unfortunate thing that you can do to a person is to be unapologetically direct and not understand their side. However, the WORST thing you can do is to slip in ‘little’ white lies just to save yourself from confrontations & emotional conversations. Complain about each other to each other. Have your freedom … G E N T L Y. Discuss your mind – politely.
Sijdah Hussain (Red Sugar, No More)
Si se lo permitimos, los niños pueden enseñarnos la salida. Hay una historia muy conocida de una madre que entra en la habitación de su hijo recién nacido y se encuentra a su otro hijo, un niño de cuatro años, asomado a la cuna. -Tienes que contarme cómo es el cielo y cómo es Dios -le implora el niño a su hermanito-. ¡Estoy empezando a olvidarme!
Brian L. Weiss (Messages from the Masters: Tapping into the Power of Love)
Mi experiencia me dice que tan pronto las personas son lo suficientemente adultas para saber más y tomar mejores decisiones, no saben absolutamente nada. Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)
Víctor R. Ramos (La dieta MIND, alimentación que ayuda a prevenir la enfermedad de Alzheimer: Tu cerebro puede estar sufriendo sin que te des cuenta)
Usted tiene condiciones innegables, pero estudie, usted cree que porque piensa lo ha hecho todo, y pensar no es nada más que un principio.
Roberto Arlt (El juguete rabioso)
Prefiere estar loco igual que todos, y no cuerdo y solitario. Así dicen los políticos, con toda razón. Que si todos son locos, tú no saldrás perdiendo por estarlo. Si eres el único cuerdo, te acusarán de loco. Por iso es importante seguir la corrente de la gente. Muchas veces, la mayor sabiduría consiste en no saber, o aparentar no saber. Has de vivir con la gente, y la mayoría son ignorantes.
Baltasar Gracián (The Art of Worldly Wisdom: A Pocket Oracle)
Tant que l'homme tolère d'avoir l'âme emplie de ses propres pensées, de ses pensées personnelles, il est entièrement soumis jusqu'au plus intime de ses pensées à la contrainte des besoins et au jeu mécanique de la force. S'il croit qu'il en est autrement, il est dans l'erreur. Mais tout change quand, par la vertu d'une véritable attention, il vide son âme pour y laisser pénétrer les pensées de la sagesse éternelle.
Simone Weil (L'enracinement)

Adam Silvera
That is as if he said, You shall have as true an interest in all my attributes for your good, as they are mine for my own glory. . . . My grace, saith God, shall be yours to pardon you, and my power shall be yours to protect you, and my wisdom shall be yours to direct you, and my goodness shall be yours to relieve you, and my mercy shall be yours to supply you, and my glory shall be yours to crown you. This is a comprehensive promise, for God to be our God: it includes all. Deus meus et omnia [God is mine, and everything is mine], said Luther. (Works Y, 308)
J.I. Packer (Knowing God)
Our Peter Pan generation is unhappy. All our lives, we want to grow up— to be treated like adults, to have freedom to choose. Then we get here and it turns out being an adult sucks. We pay the bills and taxes, watching others succeed while we are forever waiting for our turn. We believe we are special, but nothing special has come our way.
Marcella Purnama (What I Wish I Had Known (And Other Lessons You Learned in Your 20s))
No puede tenerse una vida plena en mente sin libros y tiempo para estudiarlos, sin oportunidad para viajar y observar o sin compañerismo intelectual.
Wallace D. Wattles (LA CIENCIA DE HACERSE RICO (o Éxito Financiero a través del Pensamiento Creativo) (Timeless Wisdom Collection nº 78))
We cannot tell that we are constantly splitting into duplicate selves because our consciousness rides smoothly along only one path in the endlessly forking chains
Martin Gardner (El Anticipador y otros cuentos de mente)
¡Y sin embargo, se mueve! (Eppur si muove)
Galileo Galilei
Toda ofensa no replicada tendrá que enmudecer al no encontrar un ego donde asirse y arraigarse
iChing
Las sonrisas generan amor y paz, el amor y la paz enciende las sonrisas en las personas
Mehmet Murat ildan
El placer no está nunca en la claridad y en la prudencia, siempre en la embriagadez, en la superabundancia, en la ilusión; un brote de locura corresponde siempre a toda vida verdadera.
Stefan Zweig (Erasmus von Rotterdam & Montaigne)
23Thus says the LORD: y “Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches, 24but z let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. a For in these things I delight, declares the LORD.

Stop comparing yourself to everyone else, and just do what makes you happy. Success and happiness are very personal and you don't need anyone else's permission to feel good about yourself.

One truth that has helped me accept some of the most difficult moments and heartbreaking decisions in my life is that I already have all for which I ask. I am blessed! I am delivered from my worries!

También he de recomendarle que no desperdicie las experiencias ajenas. Por desgracia, sólo aprendemos a alcanzar la felicidad cuando los años y las cadenas que nos hemos forjado nosotros mismos hacen más difícil que las alcancemos.
Beatriz Rivas (Dios se fue de viaje)
Una de las grandes maldiciones del género humano es la de temer cuando no hay nada que temer, contestó. Este ánimo supersticioso y amigo de los presagios desarma los corazones de los hombres, ablanda su coraje y hace que ellos mismos atraigan las desgracias sobre sus cabezas.
Peter Ackroyd (Hawksmoor)
When Carl asked the Brices to bring their whole family to therapy, everyone in the family knew intuitively what that meant. Their whole world would be exposed: all its caring, its history, its anger, its anxiety. All in one place at once time, subject to the scrutiny and invasion of a stranger. And that was too much vulnerability. With its own unconscious wisdom, the family elected Don to stay home and test the therapists. Did we really mean everybody? Would we weaken and capitulate if they didn't bring Don? They had something to gain by the strategy. If we were hesitant and unconfident in our approach to their defiance, they would know that they could not trust us with the boiling cauldron of feeling which their family contained. If we were decisive and firm, they would guess that maybe we could handle the stresses which they intuitively knew had to be brought out into the open. One way or another, they had to find out how much power we had. In the meantime, they postponed facing that mysterious electricity, that critical mass, the whole family. Perhaps they thought they could be spared what Zorba called the full catastrophe.
Augustus Y. Napier (The Family Crucible)
Lo más importante es estar muy decidido sobre lo que se quiere ser y lo que se quiere hacer, para que nada nos aparte de nuestro camino (…) En el amor al estudio, una fuente de placer inagotable, se encuentra encerrada una pasión a la que nunca son ajenos los espíritus profundos, como el suyo y el mío: la de la gloria
Beatriz Rivas (Dios se fue de viaje)
El negro, el blanco, el marrón, el rojo, el amarillo, el hetero, el homo, el trans, el pobre, el rico, el analfabeto, el analfabeto, el débil, el fuerte, todos son mis hermanos y hermanas. Mi vida es su vida Y hasta el último aliento en mi cuerpo, los estaré sirviendo a todos con todo el poder en mis venas. Y más allá de la muerte, mis ideas te servirán por la eternidad.
Abhijit Naskar (I Am The Thread: My Mission)
En el alma humana hay una trascendencia inmanente, una chispa divina y «Gracia suficiente» que, en estado de potencia, nosotros podemos actualizar y hacer nuestra. De acuerdo a una vía iniciática de autoconocimiento y esclarecimiento del alma; vía hecha de sabiduría y virtud, esfuerzo y disciplina, humildad y coraje, y en la que nuestra propia existencia será maestra y guía para conducirnos por nuestras obras al cielo... por nuestras obras en la vida y en la muerte, «merecer el Valhalla».
Gonzalo Rodríguez García (Hispanofilia: España frente a su destino)
Do you ever feel like you are giving far fewer fucks and yet still caring so much it sometimes feels like there is only the most tissue-thin layer separating your soul from this world? Like your heart may be broken but your spirit is still rising? Are you refusing to conform and somehow still fitting just right? Able to look people right in the eye without apology and also like you’re a teenager again, bashful and blushing and off-kilter, like that moment when lips unexpectedly pressed against your head and face buried in your hair fingers trailed down y our arm, the way your stomach can flip-flop like that, even now. Do you ever walk on purpose even when you have nowhere to go? Do you notice things deeply, like dark red lipstick prints on pristine white coffee mugs? Like the way whiskey burns and cool white sheets feel against your skin at the end of the day? Are you claiming your identity, clear and strong and true, and also sinking into the vast unknowable mystery of your all? Do your days feel like longing and acquiescence and learning to stop grasping at things that are ready to leave or that choose not to come closer? Are you making a home of your own skin and inviting the world inside? Are you learning that cultivating solid boundaries and driving into a wide open horizon both feel like freedom, like the harsh desert mountains and the soft ocean wisdom and the road to healing that joins the two? Does it all feels like solidity, like truth, like forgiveness and recklessness and heat and sexy and holy, all rolled up together? Do you crave the burn of heat from another and the for nothing to be louder than sound of your own heartbeat, all at once? Do you finally know that you can choose a love and a life that does not break you? That you can claim a softer beauty and a kinder want. That even your animal hunger can soften its rough edges and say a full-throated yes to what is good and kind and holy. Do you remember that insanity is not a prerequisite for passion and that there is another pathway to your art, one that does not demand your pain as payment for its own becoming? Are you learning to show up? To take up space? To feel the power? Is it full of contradiction, does it feel like fire underwater, are you rising to sing?

PROVERBS 2  u My son,  v if you receive my words         and treasure up my commandments with you, 2    making your ear attentive to wisdom         and inclining your heart to understanding; 3    yes, if you call out for insight         and raise your voice  w for understanding, 4    if you seek it like  x silver         and search for it as for  y hidden treasures, 5    then  z you will understand the fear of the LORD         and find the knowledge of God. 6    For  a the LORD gives wisdom;         from his mouth come knowledge and understanding; 7    he stores up sound wisdom for the upright;         he is  b a shield to those who  c walk in integrity, 8    guarding the paths of justice         and  d watching over the way of his  e saints. 9     f Then you will understand  g righteousness and justice         and equity, every good path; 10    for wisdom will come into your heart,         and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul; 11     h discretion will  i watch over you,         understanding will guard you, 12    delivering you from the way of evil,         from men of perverted speech, 13    who forsake the paths of uprightness         to  j walk in the ways of darkness, 14    who  k rejoice in doing evil         and  l delight in the perverseness of evil, 15    men whose  m paths are crooked,          n and who are  o devious in their ways.

6Yet among  e the mature we do impart wisdom, although it is not  f a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age,  g who are doomed to pass away. 7But we impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God,  h which God decreed before the ages for our glory. 8None of  i the rulers of this age understood this, for  j if they had, they would not have crucified  k the Lord of glory. 9But, as it is written,      l “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard,         nor the heart of man imagined,     what God has  m prepared  n for those who love him”— 10these things  o God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even  p the depths of God. 11For who knows a person’s thoughts  q except the spirit of that person, which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12Now  r we have received not  s the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God. 13And we impart this  t in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit,  u interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual. [4] 14The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are  v folly to him, and  w he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. 15The  x spiritual person judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one. 16 y “For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But  z we have the mind of Christ.

EPHESIANS 3 For this reason I, Paul,  o a prisoner for Christ Jesus  p on behalf of you Gentiles— 2assuming that you have heard of  q the stewardship of  r God’s grace that was given to me for you, 3 s how the mystery was made known to me  t by revelation,  u as I have written briefly. 4 v When you read this, you can perceive my insight into  w the mystery of Christ, 5which was not made known to the sons of men in other generations as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit. 6This mystery is [1] that the Gentiles are  x fellow heirs,  y members of the same body, and  z partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel. 7 a Of this gospel I was made  b a minister according to the gift of  c God’s grace, which was given me  d by the working of his power. 8To me,  e though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given,  f to preach to the Gentiles the  g unsearchable  h riches of Christ, 9and  i to bring to light for everyone what is the plan of the mystery  j hidden for ages in [2] God  k who created all things, 10so that through the church the manifold  l wisdom of God  m might now be made known to  n the rulers and authorities  o in the heavenly places. 11This was  p according to the eternal purpose that he has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord, 12in whom we have  q boldness and  r access with  s confidence through our  t faith in him. 13So I ask you not to lose heart over what I am suffering  u for you,  v which is your glory.

Hay una materia pensante de la cual todas las cosas están hechas y la cual, en su estado original, impregna, penetra y llena los inter espacios del universo. En esta sustancia, un pensamiento produce la cosa imaginada por el pensamiento. Una persona puede formar cosas en su pensamiento y, al grabar su pensamiento en la sustancia sin formar, puede causar que aquello en lo que ha pensado sea creado. Para hacer esto, una persona debe pasar de la mente competitiva a la mente creativa; debe formarse una imagen mental de las cosas que quiere y mantener esta imagen en sus pensamientos con el firme PROPÓSITO de obtener lo que quiere y la FE inquebrantable de que obtendrá lo que quiere, cerrando su mente contra todo lo que pueda tender a quebrantar su propósito, nublar su visión o extinguir su fe. Así que para que pueda recibir lo que quiera cuando venga, una persona debe actuar AHORA sobre la gente y las cosas en su ambiente actual.

Korie’s parents came to the house to see me, and I sat on the couch with Johnny and Chrys. It was not pretty. The argument was so loud that Alan came out of his room. He looked at us and asked, “What in the world is going on?” Johnny was making all of his arguments, and I was acting like a little punk, twisting his words to put them in my favor, which only made him madder and madder. Johnny told me that according to studies he’d read, 50 percent of all marriages between young people ended in divorce. He had the articles with him to support his arguments. “So you’re calling that right now?” I asked him. “In all your wisdom, you know we’re going to get divorced?” “I’m not saying that,” Johnny told me. “You just said it,” I responded. “You just said half end in divorce. Well, what if we’re the good half?” Then Johnny went on to say that if we got married, he didn’t want me coming to him for advice. But then later on in the conversation, he told me I could ask him about anything. He was completely irrational, and I, of course, had to point that out to him. “You just said I couldn’t ask you for advice,” I told him. He was so mad, I thought he was going to leap off the couch and hit me. Before they left, Johnny looked at me and asked me one last question. “What’s your plan?” he asked. “What’s my plan?” I said to him. “What exactly is your plan?” he said. “Where are you going to work? Where are you going to live?” “Well, I reckon I’ll just buy a trailer and put it on the back property at Phil’s house,” I told him. That threw Johnny over the top. He and Chrys stormed out of Alan and Lisa’s house, and I was convinced there was no way they were going to give us their blessing to get married. I called Korie to tell her how the meeting went. “It went terrible,” I told her. “We were yelling at each other. It was pretty ugly.” Then Korie had to hang up because her parents were calling her phone. She called me back a few minutes later. Much to my surprise, her parents told her, “Okay, if you’re determined to do this, we’re going to support you.” Johnny didn’t say much to me for the next few months, during the planning of the wedding, and I knew Korie’s parents still didn’t like the idea of her getting married so young. I told Phil that Korie’s parents didn’t want us getting married and asked him what I should do. “Here’s what I’d do,” Phil said, while sitting back in his recliner. “I’d call them up and say, “Y’all missed that. The wedding was last week when we went to the justice of the peace and got married. Y’all missed the whole thing.

I highly recommend the approach Marshall Rosenberg details in Nonviolent Communication (2nd Edition 2008), which has essentially three parts: When X happens [described factually, not judgmentally], I feel Y [especially the deeper, softer emotions], because I need Z [fundamental needs and wants].

is a sure source of silver, a place where gold is refined. 2Iron is taken from the earth; rock is smelted into copper. 3Humansx put an end to darkness, dig for ore to the farthest depths, into stone in utter darkness, 4open a shaft away from any inhabitant, places forgotten by those on foot, apart from any human they hang and sway. 5Earth--from it comes food-- is turned over below ground as by fire.y 6Its rocks are the source for lapis lazuli; there is gold dust in it. 7A path-- no bird of prey knows it; a hawk's eye hasn't seen it; 8proud beasts haven't trodden on it; a lion hasn't crossed over it. 9Humans thrust their hands into flint, pull up mountains from their roots, 10cut channels into rocks; their eyes see everything precious. 11They dam up the sources of rivers; hidden things come to light. Wisdom's value 12But wisdom, where can it be found; where is the place of understanding? 13Humankind doesn't know its value; it isn't found in the land of the living. 14The Deepz says, "It's not with me"; the Seaa says, "Not alongside me!" 15It can't be bought with gold; its price can't be measured in silver, 16can't be weighed against gold from Ophir, with precious onyx or lapis lazuli. 17Neither gold nor glass can compare with it; she can't be acquired with gold jewelry. 18Coral and jasper shouldn't be mentioned; the price of wisdom is more than rubies. 19Cushite topaz won't compare with her; she can't be set alongside pure gold. 20But wisdom, where does she come from? Where is the place of understanding? 21She's hidden from the eyes of all the living, concealed from birds of the sky. 22Destructionb and Death have said, "We've heard a report of her." 23God understands her way; he knows her place; 24for he looks to the ends of the earth and surveys everything beneath the heavens. 25In order to weigh the wind, to prepare a measure for waters, 26when he made a decree for the rain, a path for thunderbolts, 27then he observed it, spoke of it, established it, searched it out, 28and said to humankind: "Look, the fear of the LORD is wisdom; turning from evil is understanding.

Si algo tienen en común los psicópatas es una habilidad consumada para hacerse pasar por gente normal y corriente, mientras detrás de la fachada, de ese disfraz brutal y brillante, late el corazón refrigerado de un predador implacable y glacial.

La historia no es un relato de las batallas entre el bien y el mal, sino entre el bien de una persona y el de otra. El mal no es lo contrario del bien. Es como llamamos a la noción del bien que tiene otra persona cuando difiere de la nuestra.
Joe Abercrombie (The Wisdom of Crowds (The Age of Madness, #3))
El Gran Cambio había sido una cesta de sueños. Un ramillete de promesas. De todo, para todos. Lo cual era estupendo hasta que, contra todo pronóstico, los Rompedores habían ganado. Entonces, de repente, ya no bastaba con que se produjera un cambio hacia algo. El problema era que cuando se intentaba concretar al muy hijo de puta, amoldarlo en forma de políticas, con sus costes a demás de sus beneficios, sus perdedores además de sus ganadores... en fin, entonces resultaba que nueve de cada diez personas descubrían que el Gran Cambio no era el cambio que habían querido y te lo tiraban a la puta cara.
Joe Abercrombie (The Wisdom of Crowds (The Age of Madness, #3))
Time is a mysterious magician that transforms the greatest wounds, little by little, into a distant painful memory, which he tinges with wisdom.
Francisco Villate (La Tercera Evacuaci�n: El tiempo se agota, y es urgente hacer algo.)
In No Contest, Alfie Kohn characterizes competition as coming from situations where resources are scarce. But education involves a resource that can never be scarce: one person having knowledge and wisdom does not prevent someone else from having it. It might be scarce in the sense that not many people have it, especially when it comes to very specialized knowledge, but the whole point of education should be to share knowledge and wisdom with the next generation and thus ensure that it keeps growing. So the fact that we make education competitive is at worst contradictory and at best a choice that we should acknowledge and question.

Tened en cuenta que el diablo es viejo y habréis de envejecer para entenderle.
Goethe W Johan (Fausto (Spanish Edition))
La Mèche :   Une nuit, un homme entendit que quelqu'un marchait dans sa maison. Il se leva et, pour faire de la lumière, il battit son briquet. Mais le voleur qui était cause du bruit vint se placer devant lui et, chaque fois qu'une étincelle touchait la mèche, il l'éteignait discrètement du doigt. Et l'homme, croyant que la mèche était mouillée, ne vit pas le voleur. Dans ton coeur également, il y a quelqu'un qui éteint le feu mais tu ne le vois pas.
Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi (Le Mesnevi : 150 contes soufis (Collections Spiritualites t. 6018))
Proverb: «Junte la cal o junte la arena, vago es el dicho y harta la espera» Answer: El proverbio citado es una forma de criticar a alguien que habla mucho y hace poco, o que promete cosas que nunca cumple. Se refiere a la mezcla de cal y arena que se usa para hacer el mortero en la construcción. Si alguien solo junta la cal o la arena, no está haciendo nada útil ni avanzando en su trabajo.
David Silvestre (La Rosa Inglesa)
Proverb: «Dicen que la carne cocida y adobada puede hacerse de más de mil maneras, pero con un solo fin, y por muchos tábanos que haya en una caballeriza a todos pican por igual» Meaning: La carne cocida y adobada representa las distintas formas de vivir la vida, el fin único es la felicidad y los tábanos son las dificultades o problemas que afectan a todos por igual.
David Silvestre (Horacio)
Proverb: «Pues la vida de un virtuoso no ha de ser diferente al que peca de malvado, si puestos en la balanza del raciocinio, ambos pesan iguales ante la ley de los hombres, y Roma no está exenta de la misma» Answer: Significa que la vida de un virtuoso no tiene más valor ni más recompensa que la vida de un malvado, si ambos son juzgados por las mismas leyes humanas, y que Roma no es diferente al resto del mundo en ese sentido. Es una forma de expresar la injusticia y el desorden que se vive en ese momento histórico de la obra.
David Silvestre (Teatro del Universo (Spanish Edition))
Proverb: «Por descuido a quién besar, se ha de saber a quién cantar, pues de sabios es llamar, cual fiel gallardo al andar» Answer: La frase sugiere que es sabio ser selectivo y consciente al elegir a quién besar o cantar (en sentido figurado), para actuar con gallardía y fidelidad.
David Silvestre (La Rosa Inglesa)
Proverb: «Recordad que a la vulpeja nada en astucia se asemeja» Answer: El dicho «a la vulpeja nada en astucia se asemeja» significa que la zorra es el animal más astuto y que nadie puede igualarla en ese aspecto. La palabra vulpeja es un diminutivo de vulpes, que significa raposa o zorra en latín.
David Silvestre (Eduardo, Príncipe Negro de Gales)
Proverb: «¡Oh, desdichado Juan!, pues dicen que la ironía se caracteriza por lo tardío y nada justifica la calidez de su avieso timbre» Answer: Nada justifica la calidez de su avieso timbre porque su voz es dulce y agradable, pero sus intenciones pueden ser malas y engañosas.
David Silvestre (Juan I de Inglaterra)
Proverb: «Bien que arqueáis el espinazo como los gatos cuando veis venir al podenco» Answer: Significa que las personas adoptan una actitud defensiva cuando perciben una amenaza, similar a cómo los gatos arquean el espinazo al ver acercarse a un podenco. Un podenco es un tipo de perro de caza utilizado en diferentes regiones del mundo. El proverbio resalta la cautela y la disposición de las personas para protegerse ante una posible amenaza, al igual que los gatos se preparan para enfrentar al podenco.

Proverbial Wisdom: «Habremos de guardar la entereza y no arredrarnos ante la estremecedora oscuridad, la que hiende tan ladina la negra noche y, en su sonoro redoble, nos exhorta a retirarnos, a buscar cobijo por la senda penitente, de la áspera pendiente» Answer: El autor nos exhorta a mantener la entereza y no rendirnos ante la oscuridad. La oscuridad representa la adversidad y el sufrimiento, y el autor sugiere que es una fuerza que nos tienta a rendirnos.
David Silvestre (Morpheus)
The wise man sees wisdom in all things and forms. It is your perception that brings light to the truth... El sabio ve sabiduría en todas las cosas y formas. Es tu percepción la que trae luz a la verdad... ´बुद्धिमान व्यक्ति सभी चीजों और रूपों में ज्ञान देखता है। यह आपकी धारणा ही है जो सत्य को प्रकाश में लाती है... 智者在一切事物和形式中看到智慧。正是你的感知给真理带来了光明。 Le sage voit la sagesse dans toutes choses et sous toutes formes. C'est votre perception qui éclaire la vérité
Geverson Ampolini
By the time I began my Ph.D., the field of artificial intelligence had forked into two camps: the “rule-based” approach and the “neural networks” approach. Researchers in the rule-based camp (also sometimes called “symbolic systems” or “expert systems”) attempted to teach computers to think by encoding a series of logical rules: If X, then Y. This approach worked well for simple and well-defined games (“toy problems”) but fell apart when the universe of possible choices or moves expanded. To make the software more applicable to real-world problems, the rule-based camp tried interviewing experts in the problems being tackled and then coding their wisdom into the program’s decision-making (hence the “expert systems” moniker). The “neural networks” camp, however, took a different approach. Instead of trying to teach the computer the rules that had been mastered by a human brain, these practitioners tried to reconstruct the human brain itself. Given that the tangled webs of neurons in animal brains were the only thing capable of intelligence as we knew it, these researchers figured they’d go straight to the source. This approach mimics the brain’s underlying architecture, constructing layers of artificial neurons that can receive and transmit information in a structure akin to our networks of biological neurons. Unlike the rule-based approach, builders of neural networks generally do not give the networks rules to follow in making decisions. They simply feed lots and lots of examples of a given phenomenon—pictures, chess games, sounds—into the neural networks and let the networks themselves identify patterns within the data. In other words, the less human interference, the better.

Ofelia Nibari
The future of the world no longer disturbs me; I do not try still to calculate, with anguish, how long or how short a time the Roman peace will endure; I leave that to the gods. Not that I have acquired more confidence in their justice, which is not our justice, or more faith in human wisdom; the contrary is true. Life is atrocious, we know. But precisely because I expect little of the human condition, man’s periods of felicity, his partial progress, his efforts to begin over again and to continue, all seem to me like so many prodigies which nearly compensate for the monstrous mass of ills and defeats, of indifference and error. Catastrophe and ruin will come; disorder will triumph, but order will too, from time to time. Peace will again establish itself between two periods of war; the words humanity, liberty, and justice will here and there regain the meaning which we have tried to give them. Not all our books will perish, nor our statues, if broken, lie unrepaired; other domes and other pediments will arise from our domes and pediments; some few men will think and work and feel as we have done, and I venture to count upon such continuators, placed irregularly throughout the centuries, and upon this kind of intermittent immortality. If ever the barbarians gain possession of the world they will be forced to adopt some of our methods; they will end by resembling us. Chabrias fears that the pastophor of Mithra or the bishop of Christ may implant himself one day in Rome, replacing the high pontiff. If by ill fate that day should come, my successor officiating in the vatical fields along the Tiber will already have ceased to be merely the chief of a gang, or of a band of sectarians, and will have become in his turn one of the universal figures of authority. He will inherit our palaces and our archives, and will differ from rulers like us less than one might suppose. I accept with calm these vicissitudes of Rome eternal.

Proverbial Wisdom: «No solo de mera superchería y superstición se vale la intuición para no saber discernir qué depara el gran caldero del cosmos» Answer: El significado de la cita es que debemos usar la razón y el conocimiento, además de la intuición, para tomar decisiones acertadas. El universo es un lugar complejo y lleno de sorpresas, y no podemos confiar solo en nuestro instinto para saber lo que nos depara el futuro.

Hay una diferencia entre desear algo y estar PREPARADO para recibirlo. Nadie está listo para algo hasta que crea que puede adquirirlo. El estado mental debe ser CREER, y no la mera esperanza o anhelo. Tener una mente abierta es esencial para creer.

Yo quisiera hacer lo que me dé la gana detrás de la cortina de la locura. Así: arreglaría las flores, todo el día, pintaría el dolor, el amor y la ternura, me reiría a mis anchas de la estupidez de otros, y todos dirían: pobre, está loca. Sobre todo me reiría de mi estupidez, construiría mi mundo, que mientras viviera estaría de acuerdo con todos los mundos. El día o la hora o el minuto que viviera sería mío y de todos. Mi locura no sería un escape a mi trabajo".

A house is built by wisdom    and becomes strong through good sense. 3 Una casa se edifica con sabiduría    y se fortalece por medio del buen juicio. 4 Through knowledge its rooms are filled    with all sorts of precious riches and valuables. 4 Mediante el conocimiento se llenan sus cuartos    de toda clase de riquezas y objetos valiosos. 5 The wise are mightier than the strong,[*]    and those with knowledge grow stronger and stronger. 5 Los sabios son más poderosos que los fuertes,[*]    y los que tienen conocimiento se hacen cada vez más fuertes. 6 So don’t go to war without wise guidance;    victory depends on having many advisers. 6 Así que, no vayas a la guerra sin consejo sabio;    la victoria depende de que tengas muchos consejeros.

The Kony campaign us an example of how powerful 'slacktivisim' can be, and demonstrates that, with enough worldwide awareness and social pressure, movements like this one have the power to make politicians move. It also makes the ignorant less so. No-one knew who Kony was before the campaign. The atrocities were happening, and it wasn't even a blip on the social consciousness radar. It's encouraging that there's a way to spread information like this so quickly.
