Just accept that, some days, you're the pigeon:  and, some days, you're the statue.  Always keep your words soft and sweet - just in case you have to eat them.  Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time,  because then you won't have a leg to stand on.    Since it's the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late.    Birthdays are good for you.   The more you have, the longer you live.  Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.  A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.
