All human situations have their inconveniences. We feel
those of the present but neither see nor feel those of the
future; and hence we often make troublesome changes
without amendment, and frequently for the worse.

I will be telling this with a sigh
somewhere ages and ages hence
two roads diverged in a wood and I

If you wish in this world to advance, your merits you're
bound to enhance; You must stir it and stump it, and blow
your own trumpet, or trust me, you haven't a chance.

An ounce of action is worth a ton of theory.

As a cure for worrying, work is better than whiskey.

As soon as there is life there is danger.

As we grow old, the beauty steals inward.

Ever notice how irons have a setting for permanent press? I don't get it.


Everywhere is within walking distance if you have the time.

Sometimes words can not even grasped the moment, sometimes words will not do..... Don't live your life in verse, get what you need and need what you want, and love every minute of it......... Never live your life "IN" less than you want or need, life is too short!

"Life your life, like it might be your last day" You will live every minute and savor every second..
