Wise Words Of Herman Munster In 1965 Are Still Just As Important Today

The Munsters may have been a quirky family indeed, but they came with some inspiring words of wisdom. Words that have just as much meaning today as they did once back then. A video surfaced on Facebook of Herman Munster, the dad of the family, teaching his son some inspiring food for thought.

“The lesson I want you to learn is it doesn’t matter what you look like,” he says. “You can be tall or short, or fat or thin, 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.”
