Wall of Wisdom
This is a repository of various sayings and snippets I have run across over the years. Philosophy has been given a bad reputation these days and has thus been relegated to the bumpers of cars. If you see a good one feel free to send it to me. What you will find below is a mixture of old wisdom and new. The profound and the ridiculous. The obvious and the obscure.
