Sap and Salt
By Bert Moses

"Ambition" is the refined term for selfishness.

It is better to be lied about than to be a liar yourself.

"Don't let your brains loaf, even if you do your muscles."

Always underestimate a woman's age and always overestimate her taste in selecting hats.

It requires great wisdom to know when to slack up with your bravery and begin to hedge a little.

The trouble with a college graduate is that he shows so little inclination to get his coat off and go to work.

Hez Heck Says:
"Bitin' off more'n you kin chew ain't so bad as keepin' on eatin' after you can't swaller."
