Pearls of Wisdom

While I don't ever profess to be wise. I do spend a good amount of time thinking, probably too much time. I am a big fan of proverbs, little bundles of verse that pack a whole lifetime's worth of wisdom. I have come up with some of my own in my short time on earth. Maybe they will serve you as they have me.
