Josh Billings Giving Quotations

When a man comes to me for advice, I find out the kind of advice he wants, and I give it to him.

The secret of forgiving everything is to understand nothing.

To enjoy a good reputation, give publicly, and steal privately.

As long as we are lucky we attribute it to our smartness; our bad luck we give the gods credit for.

Taking from others never results in prosperity. If we steal from others, life will steal from us. There is an incredible abundance on this planet. True prosperity begins with feeling good about yourself and about the choices you make. Life is here for us. Life is here to support us in every way. We give out, we get back. Honesty is the rarest wealth anyone can possess, and yet all the honesty in the world ain't lawful tender for a loaf of bread.
