Still worthy of consideration...
Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today
Never trouble others for what you can do yourself
Never spend your money before you have it
Never buy what you do not want because it is cheap
Pride costs us more than hunger, thirst and cold
We never repent of having eaten too little
Nothing is troublesome that we do willingly
How much pain have those evils cost us which never happened
Take things always by their smooth handle
When angry, count to ten before you speak - if very angry, a hundred

Interesting he should say that about spending money before you have it, since he's become known as a rather profligate spendthrift who died deeply in debt. Probably uttered in a "do as I say, not as I do" moment. Oh yeah, that, and the whole slavery thing, Sally Hemings, etc....
Amen about those useless dog products!!! I just went off on that on my blog as well, only with out waxing poetically about dogs-kudos to you, mark...
