I knew that I had it tough compared to children around me. But I felt like I needed it. I think I had the wisdom as a child to know that it would help me later on.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's very hard to know what wisdom is.
Wisdom is the quality that keeps you from getting into situations where you need it.
As a child, I didn't know what I didn't have. I'm thankful for the challenges early on in my life because now I have a perspective on the world and kind of know what's important.
Growing up, when I was younger, I didn't feel all that tough or smart or strong. As I got older, I was able to discover my own strength.
Wisdom is the reward you get for a lifetime of listening when you'd have preferred to talk.
My childhood had its challenges, like everyone's. It imbued me with certain things and took away others. It made me very determined.
I'm not wise, but the beginning of wisdom is there; it's like relaxing into - and an acceptance of - things.
We don't receive wisdom; we must discover it for ourselves after a journey that no one can take for us or spare us.
Once I turned 35, I got the bonus of some wisdom and began to accept life on its own terms.
I haven't any wisdom - just a child like everybody else. I'm not as great as Frank Lloyd Wright.
