3. If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague

4. Never buy a car you can't push

7. The second mouse gets the cheese

8. When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane

9. Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live

10. A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour
