20. Once A Man Twice A Child.
21. Life Is Like A Mirror, do good and good comes back at you.  Frown and Life Frowns back at you. Be giving and life gives back. Kindness begets kindness. Be perpetually pessimistic and ill fate will always follow you.
22. When it's Your day it's your day. When it is your time it's your time. Everybody has a day...a special day. What is for you in life you will get it no matter who tries to block or blank you. What is meant for you is for you. What is meant to be will be. This is Destiny.

And guess what I challenge any of you to comment with any additional good ones relevant to you and your life that I did not mention here.
