A very old book ("The Sayings Of Chairman Malcolm.")

One that has been sitting at my mother's house for a good 35 years. 

He has a lot of very pithy sayings. 

Here are a dozen: 

1. HOW WOULD YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPY IS if you've never been otherwise? 

2. PRETENSE invariably impresses only the pretenders. 

3. TOO FEW accomplish twice as much as too many. 

4. LIVING AND DREAMING ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS - - but you can't do one without the other. 

5. THERE ARE MORE FAKERS in business than in jail. 

6. IF YOU'VE NEVER FAILED, you won't succeed. 

7. IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU WANT TO DO, it's harder to do it. 

8. WE ALL LIKE TO BE ASKED, even if we say no. 

9. OBSERVATION those who act as if they know more than their boss seldom do. Those who do, have sense enough not to make it obvious - - to the boss.

10. IF YOU SAY WHAT YOU THINK don't expect to hear only what you like. 

11. TOO MANY PEOPLE overvalue what they're not an undervalue what they are. 

12. IF YOU HAVE A JOB WITHOUT ANY AGGRAVATIONS, you don't have a job.
