The Wit & Wisdom of Manly Bear

The Baron of the Bovey Basin, the King of Kingsteignton, the Knight of Newton Abbott: Manly Bear

In 2009 I began documenting the Wit & Wisdom of Manly Bear and published a Bearism every day through the year.

He was positive we wouldn't get 365 quotes out of him. Some 400 gems of his Wit & Wisdom later - Manly Bear has once again been proven wrong.

The Wit & Wisdom of Manly Bear is no longer updated daily, but quotes from the back-catalogue are still freely available. And the choicest Bearisms will still be updated through 2010.

Recent Bearisms:

In my professional opinion: I've got no idea. 

A moment of shattered hope is better than a lifetime of regret 

The more you know, the higher you go 

I debate with myself all the time 

When you realise how good a thing is, the moment has passed. 

Live for today. 1 today is worth 2 tomorrows 

It's easier to die after you've lived 

Life's a bumpy road. If you tarmac'd it, it wouldn't be as much fun 

Why plod through life when you can canter 

It's like water off a hippo's back
