4. Be more concerned about your character than about your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think of you.

6. All I ask for is the opportunity to prove that money doesn't buy happiness.

9. Laughter is like changing a baby's diaper. It doesn't permanently solve any problems, but it makes things more acceptable for a while.

Well done!

1 - Never putt off until tomorrow what you can do today. There might be a law against it by that time.

3. Half of the American people have never read a newspaper. Half have never voted for a President. One hopes it is the same half. (Gore Vidal)

Both good solves!

7. We could accomplish a lot more if we'd get rid of our if's and and's, and get off our butts.

5. Definition of stress: the confusion created when one's mind overrides the body’s desire to beat or choke the living daylights out of some idiot who desperately needs it.

Great solve, michele!

10. She signed up for an exercise class and was told to wear loose fitting clothing. If she had any loose fitting clothing she wouldn't have signed up in the first place!

2. Folks who are friends usually have the same virtues, the same enemies, or the same faults.

(thinking that adding l to the consonants and making it "animals" rather than "enemies" would also make sense... )

Too true, Lex.

Unless I am mistaken, 8 may be a little adrift around the second f...

I'm pretty sure it's accurate, Lex. Feel free to post a partial solve and allow others to help.

I would like to start.

8. No one should live by the rule

You're good through "the". "Rule" is not the next word. Good start!

Merci Sue. Did you find this one under a rock somewhere?(lol)

early board(?) policy without finding out ...

No rocks, Remi, just good clean fun.

OB, very close! Get rid of the "oa" in "board" and put in a single vowel.

No one should live by the early bird policy without finding out

No one should live by the early bird policy without finding out whether he classifies as bird or worm.

Congratulations ob. That was a tough one.

Close enough! Well done!

I actually figured it out last night but not until after I had already posted for #10 so I couldn't post it. I figured it would be okay now though. I thought they were all a bit hard!

I don't have to try to make this puzzle hard, as I do with so many others. These are somehow naturally difficult. Your timing was perfect, oldbroad.

I had been trying to make it classes or classed: should have thought of classifies!
