Life is a mixed blessing, which we vainly try to unmix.
The past is strapped to our backs. We do not have to see it; we can always feel it.
Cash is the one gift everyone despises and no one turns down.
The past is rich in lessons from which we would greatly profit except that the present is always so full of Special Circumstances.
Self-confidence grows on trees, in other people's orchards.
A woman will do anything to keep a pretty figure, but hardly anything to get one.
