Probably influenced by the Dolly Parton song, a friend once told me that love is like a butterfly. It is tantalizingly beautiful. Try to chase it; and love will elude you. Admire it from a distance; and love will find you.

Interesting thought, isn't it? I know of many people who have found love at first sight. I have also come across people who are still yearning for "true love." Perhaps if they stop working so hard on "falling in love" they might actually find love in their own backyard.

So here's my advice to the "single and still looking" category of people: Be yourself. Don't over-analyze or hypothesize every situation. Love is in the air. You will see it only when you are ready.

Tennyson once made a profound statement, "Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers." A knowledgeable person may not be wise; because wisdom is a product of many intangibles. If you are pouring over your textbooks, hoping that wisdom will soon follow, you are wasting your time. Wisdom is a culmination of knowledge, insight, experience, and experiments. Read these wisdom quotes to learn more.

Sometimes, it is tough to decide whether to fight or take flight. An old proverb says, "Discretion is the better part of valor." But where should one draw the line? Proponents of proactive behavior may misconstrue discretion to be an act of surrender. On the other hand, wisdom dictates that we weigh the pros and cons of every situation and take the path of least conflict. Herein lies the conundrum.

If humans were to perform a risk analysis for every decision, path breaking discoveries would never have taken place. While haste can be costly, too much caution can also prove to be expensive.

On this thought provoking note, let us pick up some valuable insight in these courage quotes and short wise quotes. As the say, when logic fails you, instinct is your best guide.

I quite agree with Robert Browning who said, "God is the perfect poet, Who in his person acts his own creations."

The Creator we may not know, but his creations speak volumes of Him. Do we need to physically see God to believe in Him? Are the Supreme Being's creations not praiseworthy enough? Revel in the little blessings as you go along; as your cup filleth over with His innumerable gifts. Here are some profound God quotes to get started.
