The Greenwood Lake Philosopher c. 1908

From the June 28, 1908 NYT:


  • The black sheep of the family may really be a blonde.
  • Don't waste your time. You will need it all before you die.
  • It seems as though only the wealthy can afford to have no manners.
  • We all know a sure cure for the other fellow's ills.
  • Wise is the man who wants no more than he can get.
  • The eleventh commandment might very well be, "Mind your own business."

    The statesman who should attempt to direct private people in what manner they ought to employ their capitals would not only load himself with a most unnecessary attention, but assume an authority which could safely be trusted, not only to no single person, but to no council or senate whatever, and which would nowhere be so dangerous as in the hands of a man who had folly and presumption enough to fancy himself fit to exercise it. -Adam Smith
