Horn-Tooting

Torio said: "A man has the right to toot his own horn to his heart's content, so long as he stays in his own home, keeps the windows closed, and does not make himself obnoxious to his neighbors."

CourtesY

If I possessed a shop or store, I'd drive the grouches off mY foor; I'd never let some gloomy guY Offend the folks who came to buY.

I'd never keep a single clerk

With mental toothache at his work; Nor let a man who draws my PaY Drive customers of mine awaY.

The reason people pass one door

Life Meqns Endecrvor

It makes very little difference what you have to do so long as you work with intensity and enthusiasm' You must work hard, think hard, love hard. Make up your mind that your whole life is a struggle against weakness and temptation, against sickness and misery, against sham and falseness of all sorts. Every time you fail to accomplish the thing you set out to do, another step has been taken toward that bourne where the incompetent wither and shrivel up' All life. as far as we know, is struggle.

Groce Before Meols

A little boy was eating lunch in a home where they always said grace before meals. The mother of the family he was eating with said to him: "Johnnie, doesn't your father say anything before you start to eat?"

The boy said: "Sure. He says 'Dig in, kids; but go easy on the butter-it costs 90 cents a pound""

Thrifr

A young man found a five-dollar bill in the road. From that time on he never lifted his eyes from the ground when walking. In the course of his future life he accumulated 29,OOO buttons, 52,000 pins, 7 cents in pennies, a bent back, and a bad disposition. He lost the glories of the sunlight, the smiles of friends, the beauties of nature. That's what that five-dollar bill cost him.

Hqd to Tolk

The total destruction of an ocean liner left two Englishmen swimming around in the night amidst the wreckage of the ship. They swam that way for several hours. Never having been formally introduced, they did not speak to each other. But finally one of them swam toward the other and said: "I say, old fellow-dash it all!-which way IS London?"

Youth ond Age

The wise man, as he grows older, associates more and more with young people. They are the builders of the newer world. They are alive and moving forward. Chief Justice Holmes, then in his nineties, said to a girl of sixteen: "I won't refrain from talking about anything because you are tbo young, if you won't because I am too old."

Mother

I like to think of Mother

As an Alpine mountain guideA leader who is looking up; Around whose waist is tied

A rope to help her children

Up a rocky mountainside.

The rope is made of twisted cords, Of dreams and prayers and tears; It stronger grows from daY to daY, And will outlast the years.

Conference

A Conference is a group of men who individually can do nothing, but collectively can meet and decide that nothing can be done.
