great pleasures.
Age 26
I have learned that wherever I go, the world's worst drivers have
followed me there.
Age 29
I have learned. . . that if someone says something unkind about
me, I must live so that no one will believe it.
Age 39
I have learned that there are people who love you dearly but just
do not know how to show it.
Age 41

for hours.
Age 49
I have learned that motel mattresses are better on the side away
from the phone.
Age 50
I have learned that you can tell a lot about a man by the way
he handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and
tangled Christmas tree lights.

cabinet full of pills.

children, try to improve your marriage.
Age 61

Age 62

mitts on both hands. You need to be able to throw something back.
