	Life's lessons

Once you've lived a while, you do come to realise that:

1. Money doesn't bring you happiness,
   but it does enable you to look for it in more places. 

2. Your conscience may not keep you from doing wrong,
   but it sure keeps you from enjoying it. 

3. Middle age is when broadness of the mind
   and narrowness of the waist change places. 

4. Misers aren't much fun to live with,
   but they make great ancestors. 

5. Be careful what rut you choose.
   You may be in it the rest of your life. 

6. The trouble with bucket seats is that
   not everybody has the same size bucket. 

7. When you see the handwriting on the wall,
   you can bet you're in a public restroom. 

8. Opportunities always look bigger
   going than coming. 

9. The real reason you can't take it with you
   is that it goes before you do. 

10. Junk is something you throw away
    three weeks before you need it. 

11. Hospitality is making your guests feel at home,
    even if you wish they were. 

12. A closed mouth
    gathers no feet. 

13. A man (or woman) who can smile when things go wrong
    has found someone to blame it on. 

14. A modern pioneer is a woman who can get through a rainy Saturday
    with a television on the blink. 

15. The world is full of willing people:
    some willing to work and some willing to let them. 

16. Money isn't everything....
    there's credit cards, postal orders, and travellers cheques. 

17. Some people are like blisters.
    They don't show up until the work is done. 

18. A true friend is one that lets his grass grow
    as tall as his neighbour's. 

19. A baby-sitter is a teenager acting like an adult
    while the adults are out acting like teenagers. 

20. If you don't know where you're going,
    you're never lost. 

21. Experience is a wonderful thing.
    It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.
