Happiness Quote by Philip Stover
““One who is full of knowledge may still be empty. When seasoned with selflessness, self-control and sound judgment, knowledge transforms into wisdom. The wise person is truly full. The trees that are the most grounded are those with the deepest roots in the richest soil through which they draw sustenance, sufficiency, sustainability, and support. In the largest forest, each tree stands or falls alone depending on how well it is grounded. The Joys of the Journey into the Unknown are the Unknown Joys of the Journey….””
