Was chatting to my brother last night, and we somehow got onto the subject of wise words we picked up from the cinema and the tellybox. Little snippets which at the time didn't really seem like much, but as we have grown older, hold a certain resonance.
I think my favourite example is from Bill and Ted, which by accident or design, seems to sum up the message of pretty much every Faith/Religion ever invented in just five little words.
Be Excellent To Each Other.
Such a simple creed, not easy to live by, but the sort of thing we could genuinely build a better world around if enough people embraced it.
That was about the one serious one we discussed, the rest being far sillier. Anyone else have examples of good wisdom, be it intentional or not?
