Humility is the only true wisdom by which we prepare our minds for all the possible changes of life.
–George Arliss
Taurus, the Bull | Birthday: April 20 - May 20
A philosopher is a lover of wisdom, not of knowledge, which for all its great uses ultimately suffers from the crippling effect of ephemerality. All knowledge is transient linked to the world around it and subject to change as the world changes, whereas wisdom, true wisdom is eternal immutable. To be philosophical one must love wisdom for its own sake, accept its permanent validity and yet its perpetual irrelevance. It is the fate of the wise to understand the process of history and yet never to shape it.
–Shashi Tharoor
Gemini, the Twins | Birthday: May 21 - June 20
The goal of our life’s effort is to reach the other shore, Nirvana. Prajna paramita, the true wisdom of life, is that in each step of the way, the other shore is actually reached.
–Shunryu Suzuki

Capricorn the Goat| December 22 - January 19
The wisdom of samadhi is quite different. Higher level wisdom cannot be written down. It cannot be spoken. True wisdom is the knowledge of the universe that is beyond physical expression.
–Frederick Lenz
Aquarius the Waterbearer |Birthday: January 20 - February 18
