"As you travel through life brother, whatever be your goal; Keep your eye upon the donut, and not upon the hole." - seen on the wall of a donut shop.
Sometimes we can find wisdom in the oddest of places. Proverbs 8:10-11 tell us, "Choose my instruction instead of silver, knowledge rather than choice gold, for wisdom is more than precious rubies, and nothing you desire can compare with her." Sometimes what we learn in life is greater than what we own.
