Cliches -- Monday, September 2, 2013 -- As a young soldier in Vietnam, I started collecting "bad attitude platitudes."  Eventually they were assembled into a little booklet called Cliches to Live By.  So far there has been a revised second edition, and it is almost time for a third edition.

As I have aged, so have the cliches.  Thought I might share one every now and then.  Here is the first cliche from 1969:

Locks keep honest people honest, and show thieves where to look.

Last month I added:

Excessive moderation is not a virtue.
