    Money is the most sincere form of flattery. Women love to be flattered...So do men.

    $100 placed at 7 percent interest compounded quarterly for 200 years will increase to more than $100,000,000 — by which time it will be worth nothing.

    A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

    You can't spoil a rotten egg. Unk.

  4. 1. Every man dies, not every man lives.

    2. Women are very different creatures. Don't try and understand them, and don't try and make them understand you.

    3. Those who say that "money is the root of all evil", or "money can't buy happiness" are poor.

    Any day that begins by awakening can't be all bad.

    My great grandfather and my grandmother emigrated from Russia during the revolution. He was in the wealthy class and came here with nothing, and did very well once here, but he was a bit gruff. the one thing he always said that stuck with me was......

    If you are not going to do it right, keep your damn hands off of it!

    Sometime I wish I had not paid attention, because I tend to put things off until I can afford to get them perfect.
