Echoes of Wisdom: Great quotes aren’t echoes of the past—they’re signposts for the future. Share the wisdom you’ve gathered, and watch it ripple forward.
Not Just Pretty Words: Why Great Quotes Aren’t Meant to Be Souvenirs
Ever seen someone hang a fancy quote on their wall, but forget to live by it? Yeah. That.
Quotes Aren’t Just History Class Souvenirs
To some people, quotes are like trophies—they collect them, show them off, but never dust them off to use.
Meet Trophy-Case Ted. He knows all the best sayings. But he never lives them. He just polishes the frame.
Think of it like this: A great quote is like a flashlight—it’s only useful when you turn it ON and point it forward.
What Makes a Quote ‘Great’ Anyway?
Simple. It sticks with you. It changes how you think. Or maybe it feels like it was written just for you.
But it’s only great if it moves you—to act, to rethink, to grow.
Think of it like this: A great quote is like your GPS—it doesn’t just say where you’ve been, it helps you move ahead.
Your Voice Adds to the Wisdom
You don’t have to be famous to share something wise. Your lived wisdom matters. So, pass it on.
For example, meet Nacho Nate. He once said, ‘You can’t outrun bad breath OR bad choices.’ Not Shakespeare, but…solid.
Think of it like this: Wisdom is like peanut butter. When you share it, it spreads.
Ripples, Not Echoes
Echoes bounce back. Ripples move forward. Big difference.
Your shared wisdom can be a ripple. It can change someone’s whole direction—even if it’s just a small nudge.
Think of it like this: Sharing your truth is like dropping a pebble in a still pond. Watch those ripples fly.
✍️ Note to Self: A quote only becomes powerful when you use it to guide—not just to decorate.

Tony Brigmon | Speaker—Emcee | TonyBrigmon.com
Tony Brigmon is a party animal. He’s been known to stay up well past nine o’clock drinking root beer and telling G-rated jokes. Sure, the neighbors complain, but that doesn’t stop him. Because Tony is serious about having fun. Serious fun, with serious results.
As a result of his questionable spelling skills, Tony learned at an early age that his name spelled backward is “YNOT.” As in, “YNOT take a closer look at his book?” Or “YNOT smile when you should be crying?”
Tony was a Southwest Airlines “Insider” and the former “face” of their renowned culture as their official “Ambassador of Fun”. At Southwest Airlines, “fun” was the power of “positivity” that helped catapult a small carrier into a force that changed the airline industry.
Today, Tony is a popular speaker, emcee, and author of The FUNomenal™ Workplace. (FUNomenal™ is pronounced the same as phenomenal but it’s a lot more FUN.)
Former CEO of Southwest Airlines Howard Putnam says: “Tony has a gift for blending fun and capturing ideas in a manner that sticks for audiences.” Tony’s friends say that no one should have so much fun while sober. Tony’s wife said she has had about all the cheerfulness she can stand.
“Fun” transformed this author’s work and life. YNOT discover if the serious power of fun can transform the next 30 seconds of your day or 30 years of your life?
YNOT arrange to have Tony Brigmon teach you and your team how the power of fun can help you get more done, bring out the best in everyone, and make you irresistibly attractive in your communication with others. You can do this. So, YNOT?
