E.W. HoweThinkers

Abuse is not equivalent to criticism. One ought not abuse one's friends and expect them to consider it as such.

Adversity is relative. Some men storm imaginary Alps all their lives, and die in the foothills cursing difficulties which do not exist.

Advice is always worth less to a man than a good scare.

Age is a jealously guarded secret for women. If one wants to know how old a woman is, one ought to ask her sister-in-law.

An Argument is never as good as we think it is. There is no such thing as a convincing argument, although every man thinks he has one.

Bravery is knowledge of the cowardice of the enemy.

A Cat is kept most effectively by trying to chase it away.

Certainty is at best a reasonable probability.

Common sense is that which attracts the least opposition that which brings most agreeable and worthy results.

Credit (financial) is never as good as a man's money.
