Intelligence leads to arguments.     Wisdom leads to settlements. 2. Intelligence is power of will.     Wisdom is power OVER  will. 3. Intelligence is heat, it burns.     Wisdom is warmth, it comforts. 4. Intelligence is pursuit of knowledge, it tires the seeker.     Wisdom is pursuit of truth, it inspires the seeker. 5. Intelligence is holding on.     Wisdom is letting go. 6. Intelligence leads you.     Wisdom guides you. 7. An intelligent man thinks he knows everything.     A wise man knows that there is still something to learn. 8. An intelligent man always tries to prove his point.     A wise man knows there really is no point. 9. An intelligent man freely gives unsolicited advice.     A wise man keeps his counsel until all options are considered. 10. An intelligent man understands what is being said.

I longed to frequent fasting... yet my health condition won't allow me to do it. I longed for night devotion "Qiya
