  141-----People are people
          Their human nature is predictable. They respond to stimulus and
incentives.
          142-----Keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer
          A man without enemy is a man without quality. Think not? Even Jesus Christ
had many, many enemies.
          143-----Better late than never
          Though being on time is better than being late, doing something late is
better than giving up or doing nothing.
          144-----Punish one, teach a hundred
          People problems sometimes must be dealt with harshly. When you make an
example of someone, make sure that everyone knows what the lesson is.
          145-----Attitude is everything
          A pessimist sees a glass half-empty, An optimist sees it half-full.
          146-----Like father, like son
          A son will be like his father. This may be quoted whenever the son has done
something that reminds people of the father. Whether it is good or bad.
          147-----When the cat's away the mice will play
          People will take advantage of a situation if they can. Employees will get
lazy if the supervisor is not keeping an eye on them. A teenage son or daughter
might hold a wild party at home during a weekend when the parents have gone out
of town.
          148-----Praise when praise is due (sometimes even when it isn't)
          Do not criticise beyond necessity and seldom in public. And always precede
criticism with a few words of praise.
          149-----Turnabout is fair play
          If a person is taking advantage of someone else, the situation may change.
The one on top may end up on the bottom. Then the one who has turned the tables
will say, "I am only doing to you what you did to me.
          150-----Here today, gone tomorrow
          Things may change quickly. This is said as a criticism of a person who
changes quickly for no good reason. It may also be said of a thing or situation
which does not last. Change is not good when it indicates unreliability.
