believe the habit of early rising to
be the hardest of habits to acquire.
il consider the sensation of drifting
1 to sleep one of the grandest I know.
/ believe that the vast majority OF
Ius are governed completely by i'm
pulse and invent reasons for doing
things in order to convince our
selves.
| I don't believe that because II
thing is of immense proportions. it
is much better than one of vastly
smaller size. i don't believe that
happiness and success are in the
slightest synonymous. believe that
less than one person in million
knows what he really wants / know
of few rules applicable to life worth
a hobo's yawn and believe that one
| ounce of experience is worth a ton
of pre-digested knowledge.
believe that taking the line of
least resistance makes both men and
less you are "the boss" you can't
say Eyes" or "no" on any problem
with authority.
| I believe that man can save 90
years of his life by studying the ex-
/ .. l.
| the man who is not criticized isn't
doing much for himself or for any
| body else / believe that those who
sit around and wait for prosperity
will always work for those who
don't / believe that if the time
spent in wholesale criticism were
concentrated on helpful cooperation,
we would have wonderful govern
ment.
I believe that man or business
can become so careful and conserva-
tive as just naturally to sleep HIM
self or itself to death. I have found
that, as general rule, it takes just
as long to get out of any trouble as
it took to get into it, and some
times longer. I believe that poll
ticians work on our prejudices in
stead of on our judgments.
believe that the size of man
can be measured by the size of the
thing that makes him angry. I be-
lieve that money is made in the
same way it is lost . E. by taking
chances. believe that if person
could have half his wishes, he
would treble his troubles. I be-
lieve that my-or any-country is
all right while it only tries to keep
up with ~one next door. The trouble
starts when it tries to pass it by. I
believe that the itching sensation
that some people mistake for am
bition is merely inflammation of the
wishbOne.
/ believe that you may surround
skunk with plush and velvet, but
he'll always be a skunk. believe
that the worlds greatest water pow
er is woman's tears. / believe that
the seller is more price-conscious
than the buyer. I believe that the
real cost of anything is the amount
of work required to earn the money
to purchase it.
l believe that in investing money,
it is best to remember that the
amount Of interest you want should
depend on whether you want to eat
we'll or sleep well. I believe that
life is very much like game OF
bridge: you must play the game
with the hand that is dealt you; the
greatest glory, after all, is winning
with a poor hand and the greatest
disgrace is losing with a good one
I believe that if mans trousers
wear out quicker than his shoes, he
Is making COHldcL DIT the wrong END.
I believe the recipe for happiness
to be just enough money to pay the
monthly bills you acquire, a little
surplus to give you confidence, lit
tie too much work each day, en-
thusiasm for your work, a substan-
tial share of good health, couple
of real friends, and a wife and chill
dren to share life's beauty with you
