Words of wisdom

A few humble thought of my own:

☆ It takes great efforts and prioritizations to truly enjoy life.
☆ Knowing why you disagree is a prerequisite for a fruitful discussion.
☆ Don't fight unless you know what you might gain from it.
☆ Caution is important, but it is more often a liability to your welfare.
☆ Assets that can not be measured are the most valuable.
☆ The greatest place in the world does not exist.
☆ Wealth is relative.
☆ Love is something that you give, not something that you get or find.
☆ A high income can make you rich, but it can also make you poor if it prevents you from doing what you want to do.
☆ Intelligence is by far the most overrated quality, maybe with the exception of having the right formal education.
☆ Wisdom might come with age. If you wait until the opportunities have passed you by, you might live to realize it.

A few phrases from other people that I have found interesting:

☆ A rough sea makes a great captain.
☆ It is easier to fight for principals than to live up to them.
☆ Never follow the crowd.
☆ Never fight unless you know you can win.
☆ A traveler without knowledge is like a bird without wings.
☆ There is no such thing as a free lunch.
☆ Don’t postpone until tomorrow what you can do today.
☆ Yesterday is in the past, tomorrow is in the future, but today is a gift so great that we might even call it the present.
