I found lots and lots of stuff on the internet and in my own library about wit, wisdom, knowledge & inspiration. But when it came down to it, I found myself drawn to just two of my favorite quotes about wisdom and the philosophy of life.
“Whatever you are be a good one.” ~Abraham Lincoln
“Never kick a fresh turd on a hot day.” ~ Harry S Truman
What more do you need?
Awesome.

Keep up this kind of stuff – especially the Trumanisms, although Lincoln is inspiring.
Don’t you just love a philosophy that can be summed up with a positive spin on excrement? I guess I’m carrying through on a theme here!
