Advice

I’ve lived my life according to these pieces of good advice:

• Short cuts make long delays.
• Everything has been thought of once, the problem is to think of it again.
• Don’t hesitate to buy tools. If you have them, you’ll use them, if you don’t have them, you’ll wish you did.
• More haste, less speed.
• Never read any of the “Shannara” books.
• Salads and sandwiches taste better when someone else makes them.
• Each cat, his rat.
• Field artillery lends dignity to what would otherwise be a vulgar brawl.
• Hunger makes the best sauce.
• Don’t drive drunk. Don’t even putt.
• Neckties are too small to be good bibs, and too big to stay out of the way.
• You can’t shoot snakes with both feet in a bucket.
• All things with no master.
• The days are long, but the years are short.
