It's pretty hard to be efficient without being obnoxious. The only way to entertain some folks is to listen to them. Gossip is vice enjoyed vicariously - the sweet, subtle satisfaction without the risk. The fellow that owns his own home is always just coming out of a hardware store. Some folks can look so busy doing nothin' that they seem indispensable. I haven't heard of anybody who wants to stop living on account of the cost. An optimist is a fellow who believes what's going to be will be postponed. The world gets better every day - then worse again in the evening. Some fellows pay a compliment like they expected a receipt. Folks that blurt out just what they think wouldn't be so bad if they thought. I don't know of anything better than a woman if you want to spend money where it will show. It's pretty hard to tell what does bring happiness; poverty and wealth have both failed. Nobody ever forgets where he buried a hatchet. The hardest thing is to take less when you can get more. Being an optimist after you've got everything you want doesn't count. Don't knock the weather; nine-tenths of the people couldn't start a conversation if it didn't change once in a while. It's pretty hard to tell what does bring happiness. Poverty and wealth have both failed. |
