a few truisms

1. Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.
2. We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names and all are different colors, but they all have to live in the same box
3. Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.
4. Drive carefully... It's not only cars that can be recalled by their Maker..
5. If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague
6. If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.
7. Never buy a car you can't push.
8. Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.
9. Since it's the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late.
10. The second mouse gets the cheese.
11. Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live.
12. A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.
