a grave mistake is being made by

left-Handed PHILOSOPHY,

Poor excuses may be better than
none especially if you can make the
bluff good.
The trouble with men who know
when they get enough is that they
don't stop then.
People who complain that they are
misunderstood fail to realize how for
tunate it is for the rest of the world.
Women are the most forgiving
things on earth. They will forgive
practically everything but one-failure
to ask forgiveness.
