Wisdom in the man, patience in the wife, brings peace to the house and a happy life.
Who never built a house thinks that the walls grow out of the ground.
It is little use to dig a well after the house has caught fire.
If everyone swept in front of his house, the whole town would be clean.
When a girl is born it is like having six thieves invade the house.
Men who watch their fortune grow find their houses too small.
Do not leave your host's house throwing mud in his well.
Remember how long you have procrastinated, and how consistently you have failed to put to good use you suspended sentence from the gods. It is about time you realized the nature of the universe (of which you are part) and of the pwoer that rules it (...
Thor again tutored me in the seventh grade, when I was learning Algebra. Algebra was quite an experience for me. Thor spent countless hours with me, because it was very hard for me to grasp how to pull out a number from a letter. I thought it was an ...

Cap’n is the cuddliest cat this side of the rabbit hole. He’s like a furry lump of clay, because no matter what position you put him in, he’ll stay there and purr and then fall asleep. I could fold him up and stuff him in a Chinese to-go box, a...

I've written about 2,000 short stories; I've only published 300 and I feel I'm still learning. Any man who keeps working is not a failure. He may not be a great writer, but if he applies the old fashioned virtues of hard, constant labor, he'll eventu...
Beautiful publishers say beautiful things and then We're sorry, but no... and then more beautiful things. It's a shit sandwich with branston pickle and melted gouda. I read it out loud to the kids. I stick it to the fridge with the others. Some write...
Choose old people for enemies. They die. You win.
Might and wrong combined, like iron magnetized, are endowed with irresistible attraction.
There is no body cavity that cannot be reached with a number fourteen needle and a good strong arm.
