You can always tell luck from ability by its duration.

You can be a willing helper, but don't wait to be asked.

You can be rich, if not in possessions, in lack of want.

You have poise if you can be ill at ease inconspicuously.

You may live it up occasionally, but then you'll have to live it down.

You will always have plenty of money if you let the rest of the world go buy.

You will go out on a limb, because that's where the fruit grows.

You will never get indigestion from swallowing your pride.

You will probably be happy in the same degree as you are helpful to others.

You'll get along with the boss if he goes his way and you go his.

Your conscience, like a buzzing bee, can make you feel uneasy without stinging you.

Your good fortune sometimes makes false friends; poor fortune points them out.
