WISDOM:INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES THEME FOR NOVEMBER

The theme for my Inspirational Quotes community for the month of November is “Wisdom”!
This month I will include intelligent quotes, proverbs, sayings and lyrics about “Wisdom”!

My purpose for sharing these inspirational quotes with you is to encourage you and I
to think about our lives in a different way, perhaps a more positive way. By changing
the way we think and talk about our lives in this precious moment we have an
opportunity to create a more enjoyable life experience.

As always you can find additional quotes about “Wisdom” posted in my
"Positive Thinking Space" Community.

"Energy conveys to us the idea of motion and activity.
Inside a living organism we see a source of power,
which by some manner is released in terms of movement....
Life is energy... it is the creator or initiator
of movement change, development.
We are different from moment to moment
because the life principle is at work with us....
The spirit of humanity, like the forces of nature,
and like the physical life, is at bottom energy....
Spiritual life, therefore, is just as much a development out of
what has gone before in the evolutionary process as physical life is;
which means that the origin of spiritual life is from within."
John Dietrich
