Mind: Keep Kicking.

Where wisdom prevails, there is less strife.

Wisdom is like a bucket of water, it prevails when no one is actively letting the water out.
Wisdom is like a bucket of water, it prevails when no one is actively knocking the bucket over.

Those who tolerate each other go longer than those who intimidate each other.

You can find two foolish people living in peace, if both persons preserve their union.
You can also find two brilliant people at odds because one or both keep kicking the bucket (of water, i.e stifling wisdom).

A wise word is enough for the wise.

What is wise in one household is not wisdom in another.
Therefore, a wise word only remains wise — if their companion does not poison the word, complicate or suffocate the wisdom.
You don’t have to be that smart. You do have to be (and be around someone) that determined.

Determination is more valuable than brilliance.

Yet, who wants to tolerate a dull individual? And, the cycle continues. .
Measure your compromise, find your balance. Unity remains paramount.
