Wisdom or Just Plain Good Thinking!

[Truegrits]

Nearly all men can stand adversity.

But if you want to test a man's character...give him power.

(Abraham Lincoln)

[Truegrits]

Life is too short to wake up with regrets.

So love the people who treat you right.

Love the ones who don't, just because you can.

Believe everything happens for a reason.

If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands.

If it changes your life, let it.

Kiss slowly. Forgive quickly.

God never said life would be easy.

He just promised it would be worth it.

[Truegrits]

Information isn't wisdom.

Information isn't learning.

If information were learning, you could be educated by memorizing the world almanac.

If you did that, you wouldn't be educated. You'd be weird

(David McCullough)
