                -- Solomon Short

Nature and nature's laws lay hid in night,

character, give him power.
                -- Abraham Lincoln

Necessity is a mother.

Neckties strangle clear thinking.
                -- Lin Yutang

Never commit yourself!  Let someone else commit you.

Never count your chickens before they rip your lips off
