Life is a riddle.
We cannot expect to understand life's twists and turns as they occur each day,
and we greatly frustrate ourselves in the futile attempt.
Be content to appreciate that there is an overarching purpose,
though that purpose be known only to God, and to history.
Choose service. Choose joy. Accept the unknowing.

We learn more by looking for the answer
to a question and not finding it

True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize
how little we understand about life,
ourselves, and the world around us.
- Socrates
Half of everything you were ever taught is wrong;
the question is which half.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
The book of life is filled with incoherent riddles.
(and human nature is perhaps life's greatest riddle.)
Life's true lessons are inscribed in a corner of the margin.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
