Last Wednesday Wisdom for August 2017

8/30/2017

2 Comments

 
On the last Wednesday of every month, I serve up a potpourri of advice, inspiration and other tidbits I've come across in recent weeks. In honor of the recent solar eclipse, this month's selection is all about light, dark and mystery.
Picture
I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars.
-- Og Mandino 
Picture
It is the dim haze of mystery that adds enchantment to pursuit.
-- Count Antoine de Rivarol
Picture
Where there is much light the shade is deepest.
-- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Picture
As we acquire more knowledge, things do not become more comprehensible, but more mysterious.
-- Albert Schweitzer
Picture
In the light we read the inventions of others in the darkness we invent our own stories.
-- Alberto Manguel
Picture
Mystery creates wonder and wonder is the basis of man's desire to understand.
-- Neil Armstrong
Picture
To me, every hour of the light and dark is a miracle,
Every inch of space is a miracle,
Every square yard of the surface of the earth is spread with the same,
-- Walt Whitman, Poem of Perfect Miracles, Leaves of Grass
