MR PUNCH'S PROVERBIAL PHILOSOPHY

Of two evils choose the one that you like best. If your motor cannot absolutely annihilate time and space, it can account for most other things. He gives twice who gives quickly, for he is sure to be asked again. It is easier to be wise for others than for yourself, hut by no means so popular —with tihe others. The best is said to be the cheapest in the end —but none of us know which end. It’s better not to be a hero to your valet than to be a valet to your hero. Answer a fool according to his folly often enough and you will find you have written the book of a musical comedy.
