From texts not written for us, not written in our time, and not written in our language … we can gain great wisdom.

It’s there for us, even if it’s not for us.

Don’t be shy. Don’t wait for a personal invitation.

Wisdom’s record is invitation enough.

To turn away from it is a way of hiding, and we weren’t meant to hide.

If you have eyes to see and ears to hear, then cultivate the seeing and hearing.

Wisdom is not for a privileged few; it’s for all.
