Wise and Wisdom Quotes

I've decided to share some great "Nuggets of Wisdom" as a form of inspiration, for those that need it, or even if you don't.

The main reason I have decided to do this is because sometimes the simplest of sentences can hold the most power. And are much easier remembered than pages and pages of self help info.
Most are serious, and based around fear, a common issue that few can avoid. 


Maybe these quotes can help.

I will add twenty here for now, and see what kind of response I receive.
