JUST THOUGHTS

A lie is often told without saying Il
word.
The wise prophet lays up IN expla.
nation for rainy day.
Poverty is an effective grindstone
for sharpening the wits.
Love may be blind, but it never fails
to hear papa's footstep on the stair.
A young man seldom gives a thought
to the harvest when he sows wild oats.
Many n woman who makes a man a
mighty poor wife makes him a rich
husband.
Some men don't know that they are
beaten until long after other people
make the discovery.
Some men celebrate the anniversary
Of their birth as long as they live, but
the average woman abandons it as
soon as she grows UP.
