Az much harm is caused by the two
apparently simple words they say as

these tales as coming from any par

They say" such and such a thing is
true. The next time you hear anyone
begin a sentence with "they say" just
stop him and ask him who says?"
Ten to one he can't tell you. OF course
this particular person may be innocent
OF any wrong doing, for probably the
person who told him introduced his

never repeat such stories unless you
have absolute foundation for their
truth. and they say is anything but
such.

constant nagging in a $500 month

A great many of us are very much

yet most of us make the mistake of
believing that dignity comes from out

reality, an attitude Of mind. Many of
us seek high sounding titles believing
that they Increase our dignity. They
do have long distance effect, but as
