A Good Day with Brother David Steindl-Rast

Wisdom and Inspiration

Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric.

Taking a new step, uttering a new word, is what people fear most.

Half the world is composed of people who have something to say and can’t, and the other half who have nothing to say and keep on saying it.

All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.

The man who can keep a secret may be wise, but he is not half as wise as the man with no secrets to keep.

To know what you know and to know what you don’t know, that is real wisdom.

Man does not simply exist but decides what his existence will be, what he will become in the next moment.

When you come to the edge of all that you know, you must believe one of two things: There will be ground to stand. Or you will grow wings to fly.
