Personally written wisdom sayings
An information source is only as good as its agenda.
The eyes can only see what the mind has, is, or will be prepared to comprehend.

When you are happy act in such a way that when you are sad it goes unnoticed.

My own contribution would be:
When acquiring knowledge, one seeks that which is found without.
When acquiring truth, one seeks that which is found within.
When acquiring wisdom, one seeks that which is found in knowledge and truth.

Would Misty like to extend this board to include fictional pseudo-philosophical statements. For example:
A closed book has no numbered pages
For only he who lives in the shade can know where the sun shines
Philosophy has said many things, but heard nothing.

The truth is like the sun and the moon, even when you can't see it, it is still there, waiting to come out.
