Words of Wisdom – For Life, Death, and Everything In Between

 / 

Words of Wisdom For Life

Thereโ€™s a certain sense of โ€˜being aliveโ€™ that strikes you when you hear someone frame together words of wisdom that explain and express a certain feeling that torments you. You instantly feel a strong connection with that person for understanding what you feel and for putting it into words so that you can understand yourself better. Ultimately, you are relieved of the overwhelming burden of that certain feeling or emotion and you know for sure that you are not alone. 

This is the beauty and power of words.

Proverbs, anecdotes, quips, riddles, excerpts, aphorisms, koans, snippets, lyrics, and limericks – you name it, I appreciate them all.

Quotes these days tend to catch a bad rep on the internet, due to certain popular quotes to be shared ad infinitum.

But this is a real shame and disappointment. Because if you really dig deep enough in the caverns of the internet, you can find a nearly infinite wellspring of mind-liberating, soul-vitalizing words of wisdom. 

Words of Wisdom – For Life, Death, and Everything In Between

Now, donโ€™t get me wrong, quotes can never be a replacement for reading entire books, intricate novels, and long-form essays. Absolutely no way.

But I believe that they can nonetheless deliver influential, pithy shots of insight, clarity, and vigor.

That being said, as a gift to you, we have assembled this list of 150 priceless jewels of thought, on everything ranging from love and suffering to mystery and happiness, to death and morality.

Make sure you marinate, contemplate, salivate, and above all, savor these words of wisdom as if they were intimate notes left personally to you by some of the greatest minds in history.

Because in fact, thatโ€™s exactly what they are.
