the wise speak only when asked, and then relunctantly

the wise listen with earnest ears to learn, because there is always more

the wise walk in meter to the cadence of their own drum they are never in a hurry

the wise may seem aloof and are often judged as removed, but that is a mistake made by the chatterbugs who long to hear the sound of their eloquent voice

the wise do not judge, criticize or endeavor to persuade. they are confident in their own skin are walk away from dissent

you go to the wise, they don’t come to you

the wise are dressed in meekness and stronger than the worst attack

the wise aren’t concerned with the opinion others have of them, it’s none of their business

the wise rise when others fall and usually in small strides, because they are sure that whatever trials may come their way, the best defense is a smile

enlightenment is not about learning it is about forgetting
