Those who are content have enough; those that complain, have too much.

If you can't pay for a thing, don't buy it. If you can't get paid for it, don't sell it. Do this, and you will have calm and drowsy nights, with all of the good business you have now and none of the bad. If you have time, don't wait for time.

Since I cannot govern my own tongue, though within my own teeth, how can I hope to govern the tongue of others?

Constant complaint is the poorest sort of pay for all the comforts we enjoy.

Time is money.
