Check out some of the wisdom quotes from The Little Prince, which is 77 years old this year, a book that is timeless and versatile of all times.
1. “And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.” - by Fox
One of the most famous quotes of all times.
Our heart is meant to feel the emotions- happy, excited, angry, frustrated, sad, or sorrow. Our eyes are just our senses we used to see the world, but our heart is the one who knows what is “essential” and is “invisible” to the eyes.
Always remember, our eyes can be fooled, but our hearts never messed up.
2. “Only the children know what they are looking for.” – by The Little Prince
We are often so busy in our life that we forgot the purpose behind our busy schedule. It is time for us to slow down and think from the perspective of the child in our hearts, think of what are the things that make us happy, excited, contented, and look forward to.
Never forget and leave behind the inner child within us.
3. “You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed.” – by Fox
Yes, we are responsible for everything we allow to come into our lives and the way we deal with it.
Keep your head up, keep your heart strong, and with endurance and perseverance, you will make it.
4. “It is much more difficult to judge oneself than to judge others. If you succeed in judging yourself rightly, then you are indeed a man of true wisdom.” – by The King
How many times did we make judgments and assumptions about other people before we really know the truth behind it?
Judging others is an easy thing to do but judging oneself without seld-deprecating requires wisdom and courage to achieve it.

5. “It’s all a great mystery...Look up at the sky and you’ll see how everything changes.”
Last quote of the day for you. When you have tried your best in everything you do, just leave the outcome to God. Things change all the time but let us have faith. Look up to the sky and universe, there is an amazing world out there, awaiting us to discover.
May the quotes enlighten your soul to be confident, happy, and ready to embrace everything that you encounter in your life.
