Shortly after the rise of the blogosphere Abraham Lincoln hosted a dinner party at his Cabin Estate and birthplace in Hodgenville, Kentucky.
After this dinner Abraham Lincoln read from his unpublished memoir: A Humble Man's Advice For Life in the Information Age. By the fireside he read many portions, but the section that most impressed his guests was this one, simple sentence:

For the sake of brevity many simply use the acronym ALIW when referring to this tidbit of wisdom.

Steve: Yeah, but I'm going with Abraham Lincoln's Internet Wisdom on this one.
