The greatest remedy for anger is delay.

Housework is something that you do that nobody notices unless you don’t do it!

Try to fix the mistakes – never the blame!

Just about the time you think you can make ends meet – somebody moves the ends!

Tact is the ability to close your mouth before someone else wants to!

Some people just don’t seem to realize when they’re moaning about not getting prayers answered, that NO is the answer!

Footprints in the sands of time were not made by sitting down!

Education is one thing everyone gets on the installment plan.

The greatest undeveloped territory in the world lies under your hat!

Arguments often bring out more spite than light!

No girl is too dull to have “bride” ideas!!

All people smile in the same language!

Character is like the foundation of a house – it is below the surface!

Duty makes us do things well, but love makes us do them beautifully!

The more difficult the obstacle, the stronger one becomes after hurdling it!

While we consider when to begin, it becomes to late!

If at first you don’t succeed – you are running about average!

Laughter is the shock absorber that eases the blows of life!

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

Laughter is one of the greatest helps of digestion!

He who has a thousand friends has not one to spare!

A penny saved is still an art that keeps budgets from falling apart!

The only way to help yourself is to help others!

Those who wish to sing always find a song!

Why is it opportunities always look bigger going then coming?

Only one person in the whole world can defeat you – that is yourself!

You can preach a better sermon with your life then with your lips!

The secret of prayer is secret prayer!

The past cannot be changed, the future is still in your hands!

Just think how happy you would be if you lost everything you have right now & then got it back again!

Life is hard by the yard, but by the inch it’s a cinch!

A good memory is trained to forget the trivial!

A perfect wife is one who doesn’t expect a perfect husband!

To be a good neighbor is one of life’s richest joys!

Swallow you pride occasionally, it’s non-fattening!

If you must strain your eyes, do it looking on the bright side!

Being grown up means you can have your own way, at your own expense!

It’s not now many hours you put in, it’s what you put in the hours!

Pity the person who can only use what the years take away & not what they bring!

Happy laughter & friendly voices in the home will keep more children off the streets at night than the loudest curfew!

Happiness doesn’t come from doing what we like, but from liking what we have to do!

In seeking happiness for others you will find it for yourself!

Nothing is all wrong, even a clock that has stopped running is right at least twice a day!

There is no sense in advertising your troubles, there is no market for them.

There’s nothing wrong with being a self made man, if you don’t consider the job finished too soon!

Believe in yourself and what others think won’t matter.

Life is like a ladder, every step you take is either up or down!
