Wisdom for the New Year

A friend sent me a list of inspirational sayings. Since all of these are in the public domain, and it's still the first week of the new year (when we can all use a bit of inspiration) I am sharing the best of them with you:

A man is not honest simply because he never had a chance to steal.Yiddish Proverb


A hero is someone who can keep his mouth shut when he is right.Yiddish Proverb

One of life's greatest mysteries is how the boy who wasn't good enough to marry your daughter can be the father of the smartest grandchild in the world.Jewish Proverb


"The nice thing about being a celebrity is that if you bore people they think it's their fault."-Henry Kissinger
