    A slight tax increase costs you $200 and a substantial tax cut will save you about a dollar.

    They say if you eat slowly you will eat less. Anybody raised in a large family will tell you the same thing.

    Budget: A device for telling you where your money should have gone.

    Bank: An institution that is meticulously accurate in everything except the time and temperature.

    The door-to-door salesman has been replaced by the telephone-to-telephone salesman. Now he has been replaced by the email to email salesman (or spam).

    The world is blessed most by people who do things and not by those who merely talk about them.

    A fool and his money are soon partying.

    It’s not only quiet people who don’t say much…

    No matter how cool you look in your high school yearbook, in 20 years your kids will still laugh.

    He who sows courtesy reaps friendship and he who plants kindness gathers love.

    Some are surprised that fertilizer comes in more than one scent.

    It seems that people with coughs don’t go to doctors, they go to meetings and movies.

    Nature is the art of God.

    No brook is to little to seek the sea.

    Your work is a commentary on your character.

    Joy is not what we own, it’s in what we are.

    It is never too late to be kind, for we never know how soon it will be too late.

    To think too long about doing something often becomes it’s undoing.

    In the good old days, Uncle Sam lived within his income…and without most of ours.

    Worry pulls tomorrow’s cloud over today’s bright sunshine.

    The virtues of being punctual are largely offset by having to wait for people who aren’t.

    Happiness is nothing more than health and a poor memory. Albert Schweitzer

    About the only good thing about free advice is that the price is right.

    Gentleness and kind persuasion win where force and bluster fail.

    Doubt your doubts instead of your beliefs.

    The difficulties of life are intended to make us better, not bitter.

    Give what you have; to some it may be better than you dare to think. Henry Longfellow

    Gossip: letting the chat out of the bag.

    Status quo: Latin for the mess we’re in.

    Pick your friends, but not to pieces.

    Truth has only to change hands a few times to become fiction.

    Some people know lots more than they tell. Some don’t.

    Wisdom is knowing what to do next; virtue is doing it.

    Be grateful for the doors of opportunity and for friends who oil the hinges.

    Wishin’ won’t paint the porch.

    So often our listening is only in part; what we really need is a hearing aid for the heart.

    Man has never made any material as resilient as the human spirit.

    If it weren’t for the last minute a lot of things wouldn’t get done.

    What your future has in store for you depends on what you have stored for the future.

    While traveling along the road of life, enjoy the going and stop thinking so much about getting there.

    One of the biggest steps you can take is to meet others half way.
