Why Wise?

We all lose hope. We get stuck and overwhelmed. We need guidance and preparation. And above all, something more than all of this to keep us going with a smile on our face.

None of this is new. Yet we fall into the same pitfalls over and over again. The truth is there, but it keeps slipping through our fingers.

But again: The truth is there. We just need wit and beauty to help us remember and put it to action. So why not learn from the saints and heroes of the past, those giants on whose shoulders we stand? What they shared with us, is their wisdom. Wisdom, the stuff that gets you through life happy, successful, and with meaning.

Wise helps you discover new pieces of truth fit for any season of your life. Track your progress and save your personal favorites. Then meditate on the parts most beneficial to you. Depending on your mood, quotes are split in four groups:

Wake
If you just can’t get out of bed, find quotes to remind you that there is a lot to be thankful for, you are valuable because you believe it and you can make peace with everything. That there is hope.

Move
If you can’t get yourself out, let Wise help you remember there is nothing to be ashamed of, what others think doesn’t matter and there is a lesson in every failure. Do not be afraid.

Grow
Let Wise teach you about love, friendship, psyche, emotions, work, success, failure, enemies, and decisions. There is a time and place for everything.

Muse
The ultimate questions cannot be answered, but only outgrown. Fathom that in the end there is no separation between us and the world, that our minds are not the only way of knowing, nor our eyes of seeing. Find peace, for the truth will prevail.
