Martin Luther King, Gandhi, Aristotle and ...Herman Munster? Yes, Herman Munster, who shared these wise words on how to live your kindest, and best life: "The lesson I want you to learn is it doesn't matter what you look like. You can be tall or short or fat or thin or ugly or handsome, like your father, or you can be black or yellow or white — it doesn't matter — what does matter is the size of your heart and the strength of your character." Did you ever think you'd take advice from a TV character?
