This'n'That; April Twenty-Second #3; More Pearls

More Pearls Of Wisdom:
    Hey NBPfSD members:  Read these 'pearls of mid-western wisdom' and be inspired to create something besides world-wide destruction!
  • Recession is when your neighbor loses his job.  Depression is when you lose yours. [widely attributed to] -Harry S. Truman
  • Everyone's got it in him, if he'll only make up his mind and stick with it.  None of us is born with a stop-valve on his powers or with a set limit to his capacities.  There's no limit possible to the expansion of each one of us.  -Charles M. Schwab
  • The buck stops here. -"Clown Prince" owe-bama Harry S. Truman

  • The idea that you can perchandise candidates for high office like breakfast.... is the ultimate indignity to the demodRATic process. -Adlai Stevenson
  • I never give them hell.  I just tell the truth, and they think it's hell. -Harry S. Truman
  • Goodwill is the one and only asset the competition cannot undersell or destroy. -Marshall Field
  • We do not know one millionth of one percent about anything. -Thomas Alva Edison
  • The first essential in a boy's career is to find out what he's fitted for, what he's most capable of doing and doing it with relish. -Charles M. Schwab
