WORDS OF WISDOM from a Chinese proverb

With money you can buy a house, but not a home. With money you can buy a clock, but not time. With money you can buy a bed, but not sleep. With money you can buy a book, but not knowledge. With money you can buy a doctor, but not good health. With money you can buy a position, but not a respect. With money you can buy blood, but not life. With money you can buy sex, but not love. ~ a Chinese proverb Voluntary Donation Reminder If you have received benefit from this newsletter or my websites this year and would like to make a financial contribution of any amount toward costs, you can do so at www.dld123.com/ debraslist/ sponsors/sponsorsI.html.
