# Sayings
<!-- page:124 -->

Sayings Living behind golden doors doesn't keep out soul poverty nor heart hunger. While a woman scrubs her own door step, she has no time to worry about the dirt on her neighbor's tiles. The only real millionaires in this world are those who are happy and contented with what they earn by honest labor, and what they save by common sense. — D. C. Retsloff, San Diego, Cal.
