Reagan Wisdom

I admit, I wasn’t overjoyed with Ronald Reagan as the governor of my state, and I disagreed with some of his Presidential policies. Often, though, he made good sense, as in today’s Thursday Thought quote.

Good Idea from the Animal World

Sometimes animals have some very good lessons to teach us, as in today’s Thursday Thought.

This is NOT a Fable

Aesop is known for his fables that contain bits of wisdom, and in today’s Thursday Thought quote he offers some words to live by.

I think Saint/Mother Teresa was one of the wisest women ever to live. In today’s Thursday Thought, she looks into our homes.

Some Silliness: Tweet it and Let it Be

This sign  really appealed to my warped sense of humor.  I couldn’t just “Let it Be.”  To carry it to the absurd, I hope there are beetles crawling all around it.  [Thanks to Tim Haggerty for this picture.]

Star Wars Wisdom for this Memorable Day

Today’s Thursday Thought appropriately (it IS, after all, “May the 4th be with You” Day) comes from Star Wars.

“You will find that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view.” — Obi-Wan Kenobi, talking to Luke

 

Wisdom of Maya

Some Thursday Thoughts from Maya Angelou:

“Try to be a rainbow in someone’s cloud.”

“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

“I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back.”

“While I know myself as a creation of God, I am also obligated to realize and remember that everyone else and everything else are also God’s creation.”

WAG MORE; BARK LESS.
