No full textLetter "A" is illuminated in the calligraphy of aphorisms. Composition is filled with letterforms and images in multiple colors: green, blue, purple, red, black, yellow/gold. Center image is of 3 angels inside the large letter "B". Image of swaddled infant; woman's head.Aphorisms, non sequiturs, maxims, adages, & epigrams. Time wounds all heels. Where do mothers learn the things they tell their daughters not to do. Wagner's music is better than it sounds. Speak softly but carry a big $tick. Epitaph for an aetheist: here lies an aetheist; all dressed up, no place to go. When you stretch the truth beware of the snapback. Fools always have friends. Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we diet. We admire the wisdom of those who ask our advice. Little girls, like butterflies, meed mp excuse. Cold feet, quite often are the result of burnt fingers. Anyone who flatters has, or is about, to cheat you. Support your local lawyer: send your child to medical school. Diplomacy is the art of telling someone to go to hell' and have him looking forward to the trip. Oranizations, like fish, first decay in the head. Educaion is expensive but ignorance more so. If at first you succeed be surprised. Discipline withoug freedom is tyranny, freedom without discipline is anarchy. Little girls, like butterflies, need no excuse. Freedom is not cheap, endless, free. True freedom respects the rights of those with whom we disagreee or dislike. The hardest thing to open : a closed mind. Little girls, like butterflies, need no excuse. Anyone leading a double life often gets through it in half the time. Man does not live on bread, he need buttering. Like the moon, everyone has her dark side which none see. A truth that's told with bad intent beat all the lies you cna invent. She who marries for money earns it.Tiff file: 1836 x 2161 pixels, 22.7 Mb; Display: jpeg, 680 x 800 pixels, 72dp

PqpQ ; English barmaids during the 16th & 17th centuries used a small blackboard on which they ma[r]ked the number of tankards of ale consumed by customers. Ale was served in large [qt.] and small [pint] tankards. To make certain one was not over-charged one had to mind HIS P'S AND Q'S. i.e. his pints and quarts.Tiff file: 2026 x 1818 pixels, 21.0 Mb; Display: jpeg, 718 x 800 pixels, 72dp
