Some wise man wrote this definition of a salesman: "If you work with your hands, you are a laborer. If you work with head and hands, you are a craftsman. If hands, head and heart are required, you are an artist. But if it takes hands, head, heart and feet, then you are a salesman."

The more a man really knows, the more he doubts. Never forget that when judging men. Ignorance bawls, w&rile wisdom speaks falteringly. Beware of the man who not only knows, but knows he knows. Verily, nine times out of ten; he knows little.

Power is always dangerous. History abundantly demonstrates that the more power you place in the hands of a man and the longer you leave it ttrere, the more plainly dbes his fallibility manifest itself.

They tell the story or*arrl ^i*.ri""r, paratrooper who was dropping down to earth in his parachute. Bullets few like hail all about him from the enemy below. "Nuts !" he said to himself, "th€re must be some easier way to make a living than this."

Sir Walter Scott wrotl i.,1 "orr. crowded hour of glorious life is worth age without a t^hrill." And Lord Byron, with the same though.t in mind, said: "Oh, talk not to me of a name great in story, the days of our youth are the days of our glory."***

Two drunks were driving into a big city late at night. One of ttrem said: "We're getting close to town." The other asked: "How do you know?" The first one said: "We're hitting more people." ***

Mohammed said that this world would stagnate without war. Maybe that's why the Lord made the Russians and Germans-to keep the world from stagnating.

"What is freedom?" Joh.n Amherst Sexon asked. "It is man's highest aspiration, man's brightest hope, the love of God, the pursuit of happiness, the acceptanc€ of responsibilities, the exercise of our just rights, a commitment to the democratic way of life, the dedication of one's life to the cause of Liberty and Justice for all mankind."

Thebes, the once great capital of Ethiopia, was said to have so nxany gates that it was generally referred to as "Thebes of a thousand gates." Later on a town in Italy tried to build as many towers as Thebes had gates, and really finished about eigh.ty towers. This was the town of San Gimagnano, and the time was the middle ages.

And Marco Morrow said: "ft is a glorious privilege to live, to know, to act, to listen, to behold, to love. To look up at the blue sky; to see the sun sink slowly below the line of the horizon; to watch the worlds come twinkling into view, first one by one, then the myriads that no man can count, and lo ! the universe is white wittr them; and you and I are here." ***

During the Civil War, a certain Col. Fisk, of Missouri, raised a volunteer regiment, and made every man agree that he, the Colonel, would be allowed to do all the cursing and swearing for the whole regiment. In short, swearing was forbidden. But one day one of Col. Fisk's teams of mules balked on a muddy road and refused to move, and the teamster cussed the team out loud and fiercely. The
