Here are some good ones from a little book called “Philosophy of the Street,” by E. R. Petherick, of Merrill, Wisconsin. There are hundreds more in the book as good, and that is saying much:
Two people may differ and both be wrong.
Ridicule is a cross-eyed cousin of wit.
Many of us devote too much energy to increasing our wants.
It is always easy to get a front place by facing the other way.
The man who has no secrets from his wife is a widower.
Cunning is the selfish side of wisdom.
It is a good idea to remember that the present is constantly becoming the past.
There is about as much sense in judging a man by his talk as there would be in buying a dog by his bark.
Few people know how to be good to themselves.
