The real reason you can't take it with you is that it goes before you do. Junk is something you throw away three weeks before you need it. Hospitality is making your guests feel at home, even if you wish they were. A closed mouth gathers no feet. A modern pioneer is a woman who can get through a rainy Sunday with a television on the blink.
Some people are like blisters.
They don't show up until the work is done. A true friend is one that lets his grass grow as tall as his neighbor's. A baby-sitter is a teenager acting like an adult while the adults are out acting like teenagers. If you don't know where you're going, you're never lost. Experience is a wonderful thing.
