One cannot have wisdom without perspective,
but once gaining perspective, one attains wisdom.
Wisdom is the ability to view every situation
as each person who is in any way affected
by that situation might view it.
Wisdom benefits from having a knowledge of history,
and therefore a historical perspective,
as well from as having the perspective of imagination -
the realm of the what-might-be
inhabited by futurists and science-fiction writers.

Confidence for when you doubt,
Courage to know yourself,
Patience to accept the truth,
Love to complete your life.

A loving relationship is one in which
the loved one is free to be himself -

and can never grow in a jealous heart.
