Jerry Greening's Sayings.
"Ef time is "money, they's dead laads o' people hez more money than they know what to do with." ■'Poverty ought t' be considered a good friend o1o 1 man, fer it allers^ticks to him when all other friends desart him." "The best gold comes from the roughest country, and the best and truest hearts are found under th' ugly faces." . :' " Necessity is like a good many' lawyers I kin call to mind— it knows no law.'V '-"'<" "Lots of men talk b' the yard and thinks b' the inch." c.j " Doctors hey the best o' all professions. Ef they do good curin', th' earth proclaims~it, an 1 ef they fail, why th' earth covers' it. . See?" " I b'lieve that th' bread o' repentance we sometimes eat durin' ol' age is made out o' th 1 wild oats we hey sowed earlier in life." -. " When a man an' woman 's married, they are made one by th' minister. Now 'the question is which is the one ? I've obsarved that often there is a terrible scrimmage afore the matter is settled."
