         ...Here a little, and there a little (Isa.28:10).

         1. Another year is dawning.
         Dear Master let it be
         On Earth or else in Heaven,
         Another year for Thee.
         2. Birthdays are sober occasions--starting a whole new year of your life!
         3. Many happy returns of the day of thy birth
         Let sunshine and gladness be given
         And may our dear Father prepare you on Earth
         For a Happy Birthday in Heaven.
         4. Happy Birthday to you,
         Only one will not do!
         Born again means Salvation--
         How many have you?
         5. A good reducing exercise consists of placing both hands against the table edge and pushing back.
         6. If you want to spend your money and have something to show for it, try eating rich food.
         7. Overweight is often just desserts.
         8. Seconds count, especially when dieting.
         9. Everything they did in the Temple was an illustrated sermon of Christ and His church!
         10. I always felt a farmer is one man who's really in partnership with God!
         11. There's no form of transportation more beautiful than a sailing vessel! It glides along so silently and so gracefully, almost like a bird!
         12. The palms of your hands are like a map of your life, both past, present and future.
         13. If you take along enough clothes to last you a week, they'll probably be enough to last you for a month!
         14. I don't believe in luck.--That means the blessing of Lucifer!
         15. Nothing annoys a housewife so much as having her friends drop in and find her house looking as it usually does.
         16. Housework is something you do that nobody notices unless you don't do it.
         17. Will power is the ability to eat one salted peanut.
         18. Don't let the Devil's children steal the bread from God's Children!
         19. Proverbs are short sentences, drawn from long experience.--Don Quixote.
         20. Colours can affect your mood and cause emotional reactions which have bodily responses.
         21. A friend's frown is better than a fool's smile.
         22. If the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence, you can bet the water bill is higher.
         23. Sometimes I think birthdays are a little bit like weddings: They're really not always so much for the benefit of the poor celebrant, but rather for the sake of friends and relatives to enjoy the occasion.
         24. You ask, "How come you light your birthday candle instead of blowing it out?"--Because we believe in giving life, not extinguishing life! We believe in bringing light to the World, not darkness!
         25. Small men are often insecure and overcompensate for their insecurity with superiority. They fight to retain some superiority because they are afraid of inferiority.
