Necessity is the mother of all invention Thinking about the worst prepares you for the worst A closed mouth catches no flies A man with words and no deeds is like a garden full of weeds For an idea to be accepted it has to be advertised by a good salesman Law is the creation of the strong to rule the weak Happiness is a mystery like religion, and it should not be rationalised Hope for ill gains is the beginning of loss Education is what remains after one forgets what one has learnt in school In business, the rear view mirror is clearer than the windshield A room without books is like a body without soul That so few people now dare to be eccentric, is the chief danger of our times Good judgement comes from experience and that comes from poor judgement
