The Gospel of Envy
The prodigal starved as a ruined animal, The final hired worker? A dying criminal. Yet the grace of the Master is paradoxical: He welcomes the worst, and it drives the rest cynical.
The Savings Paradox
The Thrift Store Queen seeks bargains grand, And buys up half the second-hand.
My wife disdains the discount price, Yet keeps her saving index nice.
To make your bank account grow stout: Don't buy it cheap—just go without.

THE ROAD TO WISDOM
The road to wisdom? -- Well, it's plain and simple to express: Err and err and err again but less and less and less.
Piet Hein

"The Road to Wisdom"
“Losing one glove is certainly painful, but nothing compared to the pain, of losing one, throwing away the other, and finding the first one again.”
Piet Hein
"Problems worthy of attack prove their worth by hitting back."
Piet Hein
I desperately need more people to know about Piet Hein's grooks. Some of them are just wonderful. I might post some on here from time to time.
