LIES PHILOSOPHY

The younger a man Is the more he has to
unlearn.
Our mistakes contribute much to the wis
dom of others.
Every dog has his day, but, like men, they
always want two.
For every dollar a man wins on fast horses
he loses two on slow ones.
Youth is going to do things tomorrow that
old age didn't do yesterday.
When woman loves a man she loves to
make him believe she doesnt.
A great many Of the thoughts man has
today appeared in yesterdays newspaper.
The trouble with the disagreeabe things
people say about is that most Of them are
true.
A man never realizes the worthlessness
of his earthly possessions until he tries to
pawn them.
When a man isn't willing to practice what
he breaches It's about time for him to give
up preaching
Time is caught by the tail more frequently
than by the forelock.
Every man knows how wife should be
managed, but few are bile to do it,
Whenever some husba nds and wives agree
1t Is to the effect that they made a serious
mistake in marrying.
1t is said that men who never drink,
smoke or stay out late at night live to a
ripe old age. Perhaps that's their punish
