Apply Pearls-of-Wisdom In Life
How Words Inspire You Most

Hungry for those little pearls-of-wisdom, spiritual or motivational-quotes that will push you to make some kind of a lifestyle change? You may find some here.

Every now and then, we all come across thoughts-of-wisdom, or a daily quote and tip somewhere that really makes us stop, sit up and take notice or inventory of what is going on around us.

Thoughts-for-improvement for what we need to change in our mode of thinking towards others, or a new outlook on what just happens to be going in the world at the moment can take place at anytime.

Words of wisdom and spiritual-quotes can inspire happiness, sadness, compassion, contentment, even a little bit of shame for some.

They can provoke a desire to take some things a bit more seriously maybe in our immediate lives, and make the changes to accommodate a necessary new mode of thinking.

An inspirational quote can push towards self improvement in some way or another, or encourage one to work towards making improvements somewhere else.

Pearls-of-Wisdom can come from anybody and anywhere. We happen to hear mostly more of the ones made famous by famous people.

My grandmother had a little saying, that I always thought "interesting."

"If you are talking to someone stupid, make sure they're not doing the same."

I call it a "Ma-ism." I'm not sure that it belonged to "her", but it's where I heard it first. Makes you think. Just a little example.


I leave with you some of these pearls-of-wisdom that are thought about by many people daily. Maybe they reflect in some small way in your everyday life, and maybe not. I like to think they convey a message aimed at what is going on in the world today. Some of these motivational-quotes certainly are quite obvious about that.

It's all open to interpretation, which is yours and yours alone.
