Intelligence is seeing the ups, downs, cycles and patterns in the game of life. Wisdom is not being played or a player - but being at one with life, dancing with life, being full of life, in flow with life - glad to be alive.

About This Quote

The more intelligent you are, the more you can see the ups and downs of life. The less intelligent you are, the more you think your way is the only way life can be. When I am more intelligent, I realize that life is full of ups and downs, but it doesn’t make me angry. It makes me glad that I am alive to experience all of it.
