Each generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it, and wiser than the one that comes after it.

Don't Waste Your Time Looking Back, You're Not Going That Way

Vikings

Ragnar Lothbrok

He cannot be both tyrant and counsellor.

J. R. R. Tolkien

The Lord of the Rings

When I have ceased to break my wings
Against the faultiness of things,
And learned that compromises wait
Behind each hardly opened gate,
When I can look Life in the eyes,
Grown calm and very coldly wise,
Life will have given me the Truth,
And taken in exchange — my youth.

Sara Teasdale

Life Quotes

Wisdom

Politicians, ugly buildings, and whores all get respectable if they last long enough.

And one day,
the sun stopped,
the rain stopped falling,
the flowers didn't look high,
the sky emptied of stars,
then a tear dripped from the heart
and became our breath.
We need a sacred tear,
before the fall.

Day is the shadow of night
life is the shadow of death
days and nights pass
and ages bloom and fade like flowers.
I don't want to be sheltered from dangers
but to be fearless in facing them.
No I don't want to beg for the stilling of my pain
but for the heart to conquer it.
