A lot of trouble in this world is caused by combining a narrow mind with a wide mouth. The trouble with being punctual is that no one notices it when you are. A family man is one who replaces the money in his wallet with snapshots of the wife and kids. The person who toots his own horn has everyone running to get out of the way. The man who knows how, will always find a place in life, but the man who knows why, will probably be his boss.
Some people hold the key to the situation, and then are too lazy to turn it.
The best way to remember your wife's birthday is to forget it once. A successful man is one who can earn more money than his family can spend. The peak years of mental activity are between the ages of four and eighteen. At four they know all the questions, at eighteen they know all the answers. The mind is a scheme engine.
