Quotes and Sayings: Wisdom in a few words.

For as long as I remember, quotes have being a interest to me.

I don't know if it is the short and simple way to transmit wisdom, or that some quotes just make you think a lot, other times you never understand until something happens in your life that gives them a meaning.

At the end, a quote will remain simple and sometimes as a mystery.

I'm going to present some of my favorite quotes, some of them have an author and some of them are just social wisdom that as pass from generation to generation, an the original authors are now part of the quote. 

(YOU ARE MORE THAN WELCOME TO SHARE MORE QUOTES OR SHARE THE MEANING YOU GIVE TO THEM).

"Sharing is Caring"

This sentence does not have an author or someone who can be coined for it, that is also the beauty about it. In my personal opinion it is very powerful because it doesn't need to much to think about it and it can get in the toughest heart.

"Nobody learns in someone else's head"

I'm surprised but this quote is not famous in English as I thought, in Spanish is a very common quote. 

In my opinion it means that, even if you have an advice from someone else, you will not get his/her knowledge by imagining that experience, you need to have it on your own to truly understand it and accomplish your own personal growth.

 "Educate the children and it won't be necessary 
to punish the man "

                                                                             
-Pythagoras-

 This quote is from one of the many great minds that come from the ancient Greece, I'm talking about Pythagoras great mathematician, mystic and scientist, and he is best known for the Pythagorean theorem  which bears his name. Pythagoras was an awaken person with the awareness of those who change the world.

In my opinion we have to take this quote as a duty, children are the future but also the present. And as a person that loves children I share this idea and find it very useful.

Childhood is a very important episode of the journey and adventure of life. This quote and my love for children has making me thought in becoming a elementary school teacher for a period of time. Educating Montessori system (but that, i will leave it for another post).

"Music begins where the language ends"

 -Johann Wolfgang von Goethe-

To be honest in this moment I don't know much about Goethe, I'm saying this because I'm not closing the possibility of diving in his knowledge. 

He is one of the founders of the romanticism movement, he was a poet, a scientist a writer in a few words a men of many talents. 

 The quote has many variants but at the end, all of them mean the same, music is a universal language, it goes further than any word any expression any interpretation.

Music is life, dead, love, inspiration, sadness, happiness and many other things.

For me, music could be a moment of relaxation, dancing, a tool to get my emotions out MEDICINE.
A way to know someone else better and having something to bound with.

"I wish to do something great and wonderful but, 

i most start by doing the little things 

like they were great and wonderful"

-Albert Einstein-

This quote come from one of the most brightest minds of the twenty century, Einstein is well know for his ¨Relativity Theory¨, but more than that I will ad that he was very aware of the situation in that time.
He has several quotes most of them great teachings.

I chose this one because there is a great story related to that.

First time I saw this quote was in a video made for a contest to win a full scholarship in my actual school, VFS (Vancouver Film School). The video was made by a Bolivian-Mexican guy Jorge R Canedo Strada that actually end wining the scholarship. HERE is the video. 

To make the story shorter I end studying in Vancouver, so Im grateful and happy.
