“The spoken discourse may roll on strongly as the great tidal wave; but, like the wave, it dies at last feebly on the sands. It is heard by few, remembered by still fewer, and fades away, like an echo in the mountains, leaving no token of power. It is the written human speech, that gave power and permanence to human thought.” WritingHumansMayStillsLastsDiesWrittenHeardMountainSpeechLeavingWaveRememberedSandFewerFadesEchoesDiscoursePermanenceFade AwayTokensHuman ThoughtTidal Waves Author:Albert Pike
“Human life is but of brief duration. 'All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field. The grass withers, the flower fades; but the word of our God shall stand forever' (Isa. 40:6, 8). Let us hold fast to the commandment that abides, and despise the unreality that passes away.” HumansChristianLife IsForeverFieldsFlowerFleshHuman LifeGrassOrthodoxDespiseFadesCommandmentsOrthodox ChristianPassing AwayDurationHold FastUnreality Author:Saint Basil
“Why is wisdom so fair? Why is beauty so wise? Because all else is temporary, while beauty and wisdom are the only real and constant aspects of truth that can be perceived by human means. And I don't mean the kind of surface beauty that fades with age, or the sort of shallow wisdom that gets lost in platitudes. True beauty grips your gut and squeezes your lungs, and makes you see with utmost clarity exactly what is before you. True wisdom then steps in, to interpret, illuminate, and form a life-altering insight.” HumansKindMeanRealAgeFormLostStepsWiseFairsAspectConstantInsightSurfaceClarityGutsTemporaryFadesShallowLungsTrue BeautyPlatitudesTrue WisdomLife Altering Author:Vera Nazarian
