Many people will walk in and out of your life,

but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart.

To handle yourself, use your head;

To handle others, use your heart.

Anger is only one letter short of danger.

If someone betrays you once, it's his fault;

If he betrays you twice, it's your fault.

Great minds discuss ideas;

Average minds discuss events;

Small minds discuss people.

God gives every bird it's food,

But He does not throw it into it's nest.

He who loses money, loses much;

He who loses a friend, loses more;

He who loses faith, loses all.

Beautiful young people are acts of nature,

But beautiful old people are works of art.

Learn from the mistakes of others.

You can't live long enough to make them all yourself.

The tongue weighs practically nothing,

But so few people can hold it.

Job Applicants - Everything is Relative...

A mathematician, a statistician and an accountant are applying
for for the same job. The interviewer calls in the mathematician
and asks "What do two plus two equal?"

The mathematician replies "Four."

The interviewer asks "Four, exactly?"

The mathematician looks at the interviewer incredulously and
says "Yes, four, exactly, definitively, always!"

---

Then the interviewer calls in the statistician and asks the
same question "What do two plus two equal?"

The statistician says "On average, four - give or take ten
percent, but on average, in most instances... four."

---

Then the interviewer calls in the accountant and poses the
same question "What do two plus two equal?"

The accountant gets up, locks the door, closes the shade,
sits down next to the interviewer and says, "Well sir, with
your current goals, tell me, what do you want it to equal?"
