For fun. Sayings in the OUR IOWA magazine, issue February/March 2025. Side Notes in the vertical margins of some pages:

"Others will follow in your footsteps
quicker than your advice."

*
"Real friends
are those who when you have made
a fool of yourself,
don't feel that
you've done
a permanent job."

*

"A boss is someone
who is early when you are late.
And late when you are early.

*
"A people without the knowledge
of their past history,
origin,
and culture
is like a tree
without roots."

*
"Never put both feet in your mouth
at the same time,
because then you 
won't have a leg to stand on."

*
"The impersonal hand of government
can never replace
the helping hand of a neighbor."
~ 31st President
Herbert Hoover,
born in West Branch, Iowa.

*
"A grouch is a person
who can manage to find
something wrong
even with the good old days."
