If I had eight hours to chop down a tree, I'd spend six hours sharpening my ax

The better part of one's life consists of his friendships.

And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.

If I had eight hours to chop down a tree, I'd spend six hours sharpening the ax.

I like to see a man proud of the place in which he lives. I like to see a man live so that his place will be proud of him.

Most folks are about as happy as they make their minds up to be.
