    Wisdom from A Bulldog

    Wisdom from A Bulldog

    Wisdom from A Bulldog
    Welcome to today's #WednesdayWisdom from Way Of The Renaissance Man Starring Jim Woods
    Today's insight was inspired by Nobel laureate, twice British prime minister and knighted author and statesman, Winston Churchill.
    “Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.”
    — Sir Winston Churchill
    I get quite a few quotes sent to me during the year, but the best one sent to me in recent years has to be from reader Kevin S., who suggested we use this beautiful and eminently true assessment of socialism by the great Winston Churchill. The English statesman saw socialism’s evils first hand, and thanks to his resolve and his ability to rally his countrymen, he helped thwart socialism’s tyranny before it could take over Europe. For that, free people around the globe owe a debt to the “British Bulldog.”

    Of Christmas and Conscience

    Of Christmas and Conscience

    Welcome to today's #WednesdayWisdom from Way Of The Renaissance Man Starring Jim Woods Today's insight was inspired by a true American Renaissance Man, scientist, writer, statesman, and philosopher, Benjamin Franklin.
    “A good conscience is a continual Christmas.”
    –Benjamin Franklin
    This time of year is replete with reflection on the past 12 months. It’s also a time when we prepare ourselves for the coming year. But before you get to either of these things, remember what Benjamin Franklin said about a good conscience. You see, when our hearts and minds are clear, we can see the past for what it is and the future for what it should be — and that, my friends, will bring you holiday cheer throughout the year. From all of us here on the Way of the Renaissance Man team, we wish you the very happiest of holidays. Jim Woods December 21, 2022

    JFK on Gratitude

    JFK on Gratitude

    Welcome to today's #WednesdayWisdom from Way Of The Renaissance Man Starring Jim Woods
     
    Today's insight was inspired by an American politician who served as the 35th president of the United States, John F. Kennedy.
     
     
    “As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.”
     
    — John F. Kennedy
     
     
    As the late president so poignantly put it, gratitude is much more about action than mere words. This Thanksgiving, don’t just merely speak about the things you’re grateful for. This year, act on that feeling of gratitude and do something special for the people you value most — including yourself.

    Paine-ful Wisdom

    Paine-ful Wisdom

    Welcome to today's #WednesdayWisdom from Way Of The Renaissance Man Starring Jim Woods. Today's insight was inspired by English-born American political activist, philosopher, political theorist and revolutionary, Thomas Paine.
    “Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one.”
    –Thomas Paine
    I think the great Thomas Paine said it all with this famous quote, so I’ll refrain from any further elaboration other than to say that if you haven’t read any of this incredible thinker’s work, then you need to do so immediately. I guarantee you’ll find his thought-provoking wisdom both challenging and inspiring. Jim Woods November 9, 2022

    Madison on Tyranny and Oppression

    Madison on Tyranny and Oppression

    Welcome to today's #WednesdayWisdom from Way of The Renaissance Man Starring Jim Woods.
     
    Today's insight was inspired by an American statesman, diplomat, Founding Father and the fourth president of the United States, James Madison Jr..
     
    “If tyranny and oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.”
    –James Madison
     
    I think it’s important, especially today, to remember Madison’s warning. Whatever battles we fight around the globe, we cannot let those battles destroy our freedom.

    On Harnessing Passion

    On Harnessing Passion

    Welcome to today's #WednesdayWisdom from Way of The Renaissance Man Starring Jim Woods Today's insight was inspired by American novelist, poet, and one of the pioneers of the Beat Generation, Jack Kerouac.
    “My fault, my failure, is not in the passions I have, but in my lack of control of them.”
    –Jack Kerouac
    Passion is what makes life worth living. But controlling your passions is just as important as cultivating them. When it comes to a healthy life, balancing your enthusiasm and your self-discipline are the dual keys to success.
