Millions are not always counted in dollars:
If you have a clear conscience and good health;

If your heart has kept its youth and your soul it’s honesty;
Then be thankful – you are still one of life’s fortunate millionaires.
"I think we all live in a world that is so fast-paced, it's threatening and absolutely saturated with change and novelty and insecurity.

"Ever wonder about those people who spend $2

"There is absolutely no subsitute for the best. Good
food cannot be made of inferior ingridents masked with high flavor. It is true thrift to use the best ingridents available and to waste nothing."
~James Beard in The Fireside Cook Book
