Quote of the Day: Life’s Knowledge

“In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: It goes on.”

Robert Frost

Robert Frost was an American poet who lived from 1874 to 1963. He is one of the most popular and critically acclaimed poets in American literature. His work often dealt with rural life in New England, using clear and simple language to describe the natural world and the everyday lives of the people who lived there.

Frost is best known for his use of rural imagery and the spoken language in his poetry, and he is often associated with the New England School of poets, which includes such writers as Emily Dickinson and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. He is also known for his use of literary devices such as metaphor and symbolism, which helped to give his poetry a deeper and more complex meaning.

Frost received four Pulitzer Prizes for poetry, during his lifetime and was also awarded several other honors and awards. He also was the poet laureate of Vermont and the US and was appointed to this position on several occasions.

Frost’s poetry is widely taught in schools and universities, and his work continues to be popular with readers of all ages. His most famous poems include “The Road Not Taken,” “Mending Wall,” “The Death of the Hired Man,” “After Apple-Picking,” “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening,” and “Birches.”

This quote, attributed to Robert Frost, is a reflection on the nature of life and the human experience. It suggests that the speaker has learned that life is a continuous process that keeps moving forward, regardless of the ups and downs, joys and sorrows, and successes and failures that one may encounter. It implies that no matter what happens, time keeps passing, and life goes on.

The quote can be interpreted as both a reminder of the impermanence and transience of life and a call to embrace change and not get bogged down by the past. It can also be seen as a message of resilience and determination, encouraging people to keep going despite the difficulties they may face.

The quote can also be seen as a reminder that one should not take life too seriously and enjoy the moment while it lasts, as it will ultimately come to an end. It is sometimes used as a reminder to focus on the present and live in the moment, rather than dwelling on the past or worrying about the future.

Overall, the quote means that despite all the difficulties, heartbreaks, and disappointments one may face in life, it will always move forward and one must learn to adapt to it and keep going with it. So we move forward today!

Thought of the Day: Empty Room

You’ve never been in an empty room before.

An empty room is a room that does not have any furniture or occupants in it. It may also mean a room that has been cleared of all its contents or one that has never been furnished or used. Empty means containing nothing or lacking content. It can also mean feeling or showing a lack of emotion or interest. I hope this thought doesn’t leave you feeling empty!

Quote of the Day: The Majority

“Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”

Mark Twain

Mark Twain was the pen name of Samuel Langhorne Clemens, an American writer, humorist, and lecturer from Missouri. He is best known for his novels ‘Adventures of Tom Sawyer’ and ‘Adventures of Huckleberry Finn,’ which are considered classics of American literature. Twain’s writing is characterized by his wit, satire, and social commentary, and he is considered one of the greatest American authors. He was born in 1835 and died in 1910.

During his lifetime, Twain was also a riverboat pilot, a prospector during the California Gold Rush, a journalist, and a traveler. He had a keen sense of observation and wrote extensively about his experiences, which he often wove into his novels and short stories. His writing continues to be widely read and enjoyed today, and his work continues to be studied and celebrated in schools and universities around the world.

This quote is often attributed to Mark Twain, and it suggests that when you find yourself in agreement with the majority of people, it may be a good idea to take a step back and consider whether you should question your own beliefs. The quote implies that being in the majority does not necessarily mean that you are right and that it is important to critically evaluate your own beliefs and perspectives, even if they align with those of the majority.

It may also indicate that being with the majority may lead you to a conformist attitude, as the majority of people are following something it may not be worth following, taking a step back and analyzing the situation is important.

It also can point out that in history, the majority’s views may not always be right or morally justifiable, it’s important to think and reflect if we are on the right path.

The Sage on a bicycle

The wise white haired Sage,
In white robes and with a white beard flowing,
Riding a bicycle down the hill,
On to the mountaintop he is going.

His experience infinite, his wisdom so vast,
He rides through the forests, through valley and pass,
His journey beneath the stars, brings him joy and peace,
As he takes in the sights, nature’s beauty never cease.

Though the road ahead might be daunting and tough,
His white robes blowing in the wind are a beautiful puff,
With determination and hope he’ll stay on the right path,
On his noble steed, pedalling ever so fast.


The wise old Sage with a creased brow,
Riding his bicycle at the beach and in town,
Ignoring the chaos and the many people that’s around,
He looks for respite from the chaos, the peace he has found.

He guides his two-wheeled steed with a grace and care,
Swiftly and steady, so nobody takes despair,
Amidst cries of joy and laughter of the children that play,
The sage continues on his way, as if nothing could delay.

The sun setting in the horizon and the sand fading to night,
He still rides, steady, never leaving the bike’s sight,
Crowds of enchanted people clear the way,
What a perfect end to a beautiful day.

Advice of the Day: Internet

If you don’t know where your kids are in the house, turn off the internet and watch them magically appear.

The internet was not invented by one person, but rather it was the work of many people and organizations over many decades. The concept of packet switching, which is a fundamental technology that makes the internet possible, was first proposed by Paul Baran in the 1960s. Other key contributions were made by Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn, who developed the TCP/IP protocol, which is the foundation of the internet’s infrastructure. Additionally, many other individuals and organizations played important roles in the development and advancement of the internet.

Thought of the Day: Contraception

Condom companies technically kill their future customers.

The male contraceptive sheath, also known as a condom, has a long history of use. The ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans used linen sheaths as a form of birth control, and the first documented use of a condom made from animal tissue (bladder or intestine) was in the 16th century.

It is said that the invention of the first modern rubber condoms was attributed to Goodyear and Hancock, who independently developed the process of vulcanization in 1839, which made rubber more elastic and durable.

Quote of the Day: Certainty

“In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.”

Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. He was born in Boston on January 17, 1706, and died in Philadelphia on April 17, 1790. Franklin was a polymath who excelled in many fields, including writing, science, invention, and politics.

As a writer, Franklin is best known for his Poor Richard’s Almanack and for his autobiography, which is considered one of the greatest examples of the genre. He was also a renowned inventor, who created many practical devices that are still in use today, such as the lightning rod, bifocals, and the Franklin stove.

In politics, Franklin played a central role in the American Revolution, serving as a delegate to the Continental Congress and helping to draft the U.S. Constitution. He also served as the Ambassador to France, where he played a crucial role in securing French support for the American Revolution. After the war, he helped to establish the new nation’s first international treaty, the Treaty of Paris.

Franklin’s legacy extends beyond his accomplishments, as he is also remembered for his wit, his wisdom, and his famous sayings, such as “Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise” and “A penny saved is a penny earned”. His life story and his character have made him one of the most admired figures in American history.

The quote is from Benjamin Franklin, one of the founding fathers of the United States, and it means that in life, there are two things that are certain: that everyone will die, and that everyone will have to pay taxes. The quote is often used to express the idea that certain things in life are inevitable, no matter what. In this context, Franklin is saying that death and taxes are the only things that can be counted on as certain.

It is also a famous phrase and often being used in different situations, it is generally used to express that some things are just inescapable facts of life, and that one should simply accept them and move on, rather than trying to avoid or resist them. Alternatively, most people use it to show that life is unpredictable and we should make the most of uncertainty as it provides us with opportunities. Seize your opportunities today!

The Sage

The Sage upon a mountaintop,
With wisdom that would never stop,
His teachings were a guiding light,
That shone so far and wide and bright.


With hair as white as fallen snow,
He’d often sit and watch the flow,
Of rivers and the passing clouds,
And offer wisdom to the crowds.


For those who sought to know the way,
He’d point towards the end of day,
And tell of all the path to tread,
To gain the wisdom they had sought instead


His words like honey to the ear,
And peace to those who held them dear,
For in his teachings they could see,
The secrets of eternity.


And though the years have come and gone,
His wisdom still lives on and on,
A guide to those who seek the truth,
The Sage upon the mountain roof.

Advice of the Day: Mother

When in doubt, always ask your mother.

This saying suggests that a mother is a reliable source of advice and guidance, particularly when someone is unsure about something. The saying implies that a mother’s advice can be trusted and that she can provide the answers to questions or problems that someone may have. The idea behind this phrase is that mothers typically have a lot of wisdom, and experience from life, so they can provide their children with the support and guidance they need.

It can be seen as a reminder to seek help and guidance from a mother figure in one’s life, or it can be seen as a representation of the traditional role of a mother as a caretaker, and someone who is always there to help and support their children.

It is worth noting that, this saying is generally used as a figure of speech, and it doesn’t really mean one should always ask their mother for help, but instead they should reach out to someone they trust and who they know will give good guidance.
