Horse sense is knowing when to bridle your tongue. Talking about crops, the wild oats crop is always a failure. The pawnbroker never gets so old that he takes no interest in things. Some men show that they are bad eggs the moment they are broke. If you want to know where you stand, enter a crowded street car. Some people would find fault with the weather if it was raining money. Some call this the golden age of the drama, others call it the sew-age. A pessimist is a man who has lost heart and is ruled by a bad liver.— Boston Transcript.
