A Quote by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Ripe in wisdom was he, but patient, and simple, and childlike. — © Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Ripe in wisdom was he, but patient, and simple, and childlike.
We give credit to human wisdom when we should give credit to the divine guidance of God being exhibited through childlike people who were “foolish” enough to trust God’s wisdom and His supernatural equipment.
If you happen to be one of the fretful minority who can do creative work, never force an idea; you'll abort it if you do. Be patient and you'll give birth to it when the time is ripe. Learn to wait.
Wisdom is in yourself, just like a sweet ripe mango is already in a young green one.
The world was beautiful when looked at in this way-without any seeking, so simple, so childlike.
Simple intervention - the time spent with a patient - is a very powerful ingredient of the patient-doctor contract. The evidence is against the traditions such as surgery for back pain being true - the evidence says it doesn't work.
Cherry-ripe, ripe, ripe, I cry, Full and fair ones; come and buy. If so be you ask me where They do grow, I answer: There, Where my Julia's lips do smile; There's the land, or cherry-isle, Whose plantations fully show All the year where cherries grow.
Let your old age be childlike, and your childhood like old age; that is, so that neither may your wisdom be with pride, nor your humility without wisdom.
Acting is a childlike thing. To act well, you have to be childlike in order to free yourself.
To stimulate creativity one must develop childlike inclination for play and the childlike desire for recognition.
A simple, childlike faith in a Divine Friend solves all the problems that come to us by land or sea
Allow me to offer a simple definition of wisdom. Wisdom is looking at life from God's point of view.
The patient must be at the center of this transition. Our largest struggle is not with the patient who takes their medication regularly, but with the patient who does not engage in their own care. Technology can be the driver that excites a patient with the prospect of wellness.
Not by constraint or severity shall you have access to true wisdom, but by abandonment, and childlike mirth-fulness. If you would know aught, be gay before it.
I still feel childlike. Not childish - there's a difference. But to be childlike is to be savoured and treasured. I offer my books to those who like the things of childhood; the challenges, intrigue, joy and fun.
When I was almost 13 I was ripe for religion. I was actually just plain ripe.
We need a childlike trust that God is good... ultimately we are OK. That is a simple, beautiful pure thing that can be complicated ferociously by all sorts of intellectual categories.
