Pith

More sage words...
...from the wall at Jimmy John's:
"The gap between more and enough never closes."

...from Rachel's gift of The Best of the Frontier Guardian:
"I verily believe that all those bills they talk about in Congress are counterfeit they are so hard to pass." June 12, 1850 (Some things never change!)

"Critic- A large dog that goes unchained and barks at every thing that he does not comprehend." February 21, 1849

"If a man empties his purse into his head, no man can take it away from him. An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest." May 29, 1850

"Some persons are capable of making sacrifices, but few are capable of concealing how much the effort has cost them; and it is the concealment that constitutes their value." June 12, 1850

"A lazy boy out in Indiana spells Andrew Jackson thus: &ru Jaxn." July 24, 1850 (There's a boy ahead of his time.)
