Monday Medicine


I just finished reading Pudd'nhead Wilson by Mark Twain so my medicine this Monday is straight from there. Each chapter began with a quote from Pudd'nhead's calendar. Here were my favorites...


If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man.

One of the most striking differnces between a cat and a lie is that a cat has only nine lives.


Few things are harder to put up with than the annoyance of a good example.
Behold, the fool saith, 'Put not all thine eggs in the one basket'--which is but a manner of saying, 'Scatter your money and your attention'; but the wise man saith, 'Put all your eggs in the one basket and --WATCH THAT BASKET.'
