THE THINKER'S APHORISMS

VOLUME FOUR

The wisdom of a man is not determined by the outward size of his head but by what lies inside.

Strength does not come from a physical capacity but from an indomitable will.

Courage is not the absence of fear, but the will to act despite it.

If a wife claims to be an adherent of God, and yet she can't honor her husband, the supposed God she can feel, see, and touch, then the truth is not in her.

The water we drink is very powerful: being not created, not by any, it coexists alongside God: therefore, having witnessed and seen the nakedness of everything created, it has an edge over them all in excellence.

Water is very powerful and a reflector too. It boosts our vision and makes us remember and see things vividly more than we would have in its absence.

Nostradamus was a renowned seer who, under the auspices of looking into a bowl of water, was able to predict with accuracy what would happen, which later came to pass. There's more to water than drinking.

Belief in itself is like a positive wire in electricity: it, therefore, has life. Whatever thing we give in our belief to become alive, regardless of whatever it is.

If we withdraw our belief in God, we have Him deactivated from our proverbial world, rendering Him incapacitated to act on our behalf; hence, without faith, we can't please God.

The quest for power and wealth drives us. But the disengagement from these aforementioned will leave us with less or no sin.

"What God joins together, let no man put asunder". This adage sounds too good to be neglected because it directly comes from our God. However, we must strive to live, as it is paramount. If a bird becomes too thick-witted and unbearable to be in a cage, its repulsion is encourageable, as this, in any way, won't bruise our Maker's equableness.

Refusal to give out open-handedly to those in need will give birth to destitution, while desires to do the reverse will bring much yield.

Soiled hands make one rich, while penury protrudes from laziness.

Assisting the needy in any possible way one can is an inherent nature of God: this noble act can only be practiced or found by specific people, among the rich and poor, not by all and sundry.

The secrecy surrounding my bliss in life, which sources my watered world, emanates from giving out to the less privileged in society.

There is more joy in giving out than in receiving: the former increases our spiritual banks and makes our lives much better.

Everything under the sun has an expiring date: and human beings aren't an exception. Death is a necessary end to humanity and, therefore, must be accepted in good faith when it comes: let there be no brooding.

"Do to others as you would expect them to do unto you." if these eleven-word sentences should be acknowledged, cherished, and therefore practiced, then Jesus is honored, as this summarizes his reason for arrival into this sinful world of ours.

Jesus Christ Was a half spirit upon being born through a woman, but later upon crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension into heaven, thus defeating death, he swung into a full spirit.

As heaven is, by far, higher than the earth, so also God's wisdom, being inscrutable, stands nobler and loftier than that of the rest of living creatures beneath.

For one to become rich is not by much struggling: it is by sheer grace of God: if not propped up by Him, our labour will amount to nothing. Most people wasted over one hundred years of their lives on earth without achieving anything, while some spent just thirty-five years of theirs and amassed all the goodies of life. How can this phenomenon be explained? What a logical mind would rhetorically ask is: why didn't the latter live longer to enjoy their wealth? To me, this question is not propelled by true wisdom, as thirty-five years is more than enough for one to enjoy all his labor on earth. As a versed thinker, I ask: what would a person be still doing on earth after having accomplished his goals as mandated by his Maker? Is it not, therefore, to go back home, hence death? Let us, therefore, stop any form of judgment against the opulent ones who sprang up and withered soonest, for they have, without flaw, fulfilled their missions on earth.

The surfeit of the rich makes them restless, while the emptiness of the poor gives them sleepless nights.

Desiring and seeking a few is divine: it is close to divinity.

Faltering away from decency is ignorantly inviting death onto oneself.

Light and darkness are twins, yet worst enemies to each other, as they can never coexist. Where one exists, the other is absent. They are inseparably not close. However, light is more powerful, but can not subdue darkness except it is augmented.

One who openhandedly gives out to another will live not in want, as this conforms with the "Divine Law of Arithmetics Calculation" as opposed to earthly sagacity.

Two minus one is equal to one: that's if we go by Earthly Calculation: on the other hand, if we use "Advanced Law of Divine Arithmetic Calculation," the result is three.

To prove the above philosophy, when we give out from either our bounty or penury, we do not suffer destitution; rather, our spiritual and earthly banks are increased instead of depleted. This is indeed a phenomenon.

Education is a light that illuminates darkness. It doesn't make one rich: riches only come directly from God. Just like the engine oil that lubricates and aids the engine to move freely, education perfects our lives, making it blossom, defeating all the glitches standing by. Nothing more! However, it is worth acquiring.

If those riches come from education and not from God, you would not have seen people schooled and versed in knowledge struggling to make ends meet and illiterate, living within power and glory.

Even though a promise is supposed to be kept, it is not a debt.

A learned person is like light wherever he finds himself: he is expected similarly, to act and shine like light, dispelling darkness around him: if he can't light up his world, making it conducive for not only himself but also for people around him, then that failure will amount to a very big shame on his part.

Every dog has its day: every being of human similarly has his day to blossom, the same way as trees have different seasons of fruition: forcing our proverbial world to be watered same time as the other will be disastrous, as longevity will be truncated, paving way for sorrow, pains, and agony in the long run. Let's, therefore, wait for our various appointed times.

Gossiping is a mere dissipation of one's efforts and time: those precious times employed unreasonably to chat about someone else's affairs in his or her absence could be utilized meaningfully to better their own lives: it is indeed a fruitless venture.

A secret can only be a secret when it is known and kept by one person alone: once divulged to more than one ear, it ceases to become the aforesaid.

If one is educated and yet poor, it implies that he passed through the school, but didn't allow the school to pass through him because if he did, his enlightened brain would have proffered a solution to his unwatered world: the same way as light drives darkness and refuses to be a partner therewith, so also his literacy would have dispelled poverty far away from his proverbial world if his thinking faculty is properly and fully primed.

We can avoid death, but certainly not all deaths, but we can't avoid wickedness, as it runs supersonically faster than death.

Sex is too good a thing to beings who rightfully belong to each other, as it brings lightheartedness to them when orgasm is reached: but when practiced outside that proverbial world with unmatched souls, agony, pains, and sorrow will be their recompense, as it is a slap in the face of divinity

Being not in want, but rather in concordance with divinity, thus above the powers that govern the dark world, I, the Thinker, live within power and glory.

All my life, I have never lived in fear of death, as it is a necessary end to humanity: the only thing I am afraid of is SHAME and DISGRACE, for they truncate the nobility in men, making them classless even after death. Whoever puts me through that ignoble MESS will suffer ten times more than myself: this is the heritage of the THINKER from his God. And that makes me the happiest man on earth.

With wives in total submission to their husbands, marriage is meant to be enjoyed, not endured. If a bird becomes too stupid to be in a cage, the keeper should let it go, as keeping and managing such a situation will lead to his untimely demise.

Marriage is sweet when it is new. Once soured, nothing good comes out of it except nagging quarreling and fighting:at this juncture, it becomes regrettably a big problem to the man.
