SynIcal Suggestions.

There is everything in knowing
enough to quit before you become
tiresome.
The nice things that are said about
a dead man fool no one; mot even his
widow
If you want people to think that you
are intelligent, let them know early
and often that you admire them.
There are days in every mans life
when he feels he owes himself drink.
and no unpaid debts causes more
uneasiness.
You often hear of bull headed luck.
There is no such thing; it is bull
headed industry, bull headed persevel-
ance, bull headed economy.
