Pop-up Proverbs 1-4
Pop-up Proverbs are sayings that catch my fancy as I go about my day. Some have surprising sources; all of them have made me stop and think – and maybe smile a little.

“When you’re talking about me, you’re leaving someone else alone.”
My dad – Bruce Kitt 1921-2007
As quoted by my mother
#2 – Fear
“It is not failure itself that holds you back; it is the fear of failure that paralyzes you.”
Brian Tracy

“[Islam] teaches me to hold my material possessions in my hand, and not my heart, so if they’re taken away from me I won’t be affected.”

“Money is the longest route to happiness.”
