WHO SAID THAT?


WORDS FROM THE WISE, TO THE WISE


As I've mentioned before, I'm a collector of quotations, axioms, truths, homilies, quips, and even old wives' tales. These snippets contain wisdom, history, human conditions, practical advice, philosophical musings, or humor in a succinct, memorable way. So…what does this have to do with dentistry or your dental practice?

In the stress of everyday practice, such tidbits can relieve an explosive mindset or provide a shot of humor when needed most. They occasionally address some problem that is bothering the reader, offering a fresh perspective that leads to solution. They can be the perfect opening or closing thought for the morning huddle or the monthly team meeting. Perhaps you'll decide to begin your own collection, authoring a few of your own. It's an amusing, informative hobby.
