More Quotes by Ann Landers

What would you do? You'd draw out every cent every day and use it to your best advantage. Well, you do have such a bank, and its name is time. Every morning, this bank credits you with 1,440 minutes.

Do not be afraid to say, I love you. Say it again. They are the sweetest words in the world.
