Introduction to Long Path to Wisdom

Welcome to the long path to wisdom series introduction. Audiobook versions of the Classics read by your host Jack, with side bars for commentary and notes. Quotes: My Symphony by William Henry Channing To live content with small means. To seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion. To be worthy not respectable, and wealthy not rich. To study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly, to listen to stars, birds, babes, and sages with open heart, to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony. JRR Tolkien Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check. But that is not what I have found. It is the small every day deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love. Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace “The hero of my tale, whom I love with all the power of my soul, whom I have tried to portray in all its beauty, who has been, is, and always will be beautiful— is Truth.”
