    I have a perfect one since you want a quote about wisdom. My wife and I teach kindergartners at our church, and their memory versw this month is James 1:5. "If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you."

    I guess if you're saving TP you could use a hair dryer. That way your TP/life doesn't get used up so fast.
