An xmas shopper’s complaint is one that’s long-standing
Xmas is the season when you buy this year’s gifts with next year’s money
Xmas is a time when you get homesick, even when you’re home
One thing I can give and still keep: My word
I should keep my words soft and sweet in case I have to eat them
Two words: show cowdown
Patience is a virtue, it’s a waste of time
I am so clever that sometimes I don’t understand a single word of what I am saying
It’s good to be clever, but not to show it
Speak softly and carry a big stick, you will go far
Man who runs behind car is exhausted
Having one child makes you a parent; having two makes you a referee
Sports do not build character. They reveal it.
Be of use, but don’t be used
Aim low, reach your goals, avoid disappointment
A friend is someone who has the same enemies you have
Never put off until tomorrow what you can avoid all together
Note: It should be “altogether”. “Altogether” is an adverb, modifying the verb “avoid”, meaning “completely or utterly”. “All together” is just a phrase that means that things are in a group. Example: “My family was gathered all together for Thanksgiving and we were altogether disappointed by my mother’s cooking.”
Teamwork means never having to take all the blame yourself
The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing
A wise man does not need advice and a fool won’t take it
