Proverbs Plus One should go invited to a friend in good fortune, and uninvited in misfortune. -- Swedish Proverb And Then There's...   In prosperity, our friends know us; in adversity, we know our friends. -- John Churton Collins  Reader's Digest CyberSmiles As a speech pathologist, I often ask patients to tell me a personal story in order to get them to open up. Here's one man's tale: "My friend wanted a boat more than anything. His wife kept refusing, but he bought one anyway. 'I'll tell you what,' he told her. 'In the spirit of compromise, why don't you name the boat?' Being a good sport, she accepted. And when her husband went to the dock for his maiden voyage, this is the name he saw painted on the side: For Sale. "  --Contributed to "All In a Day's Work" by Luci Knotts Smiles, grins & humor from the files of Reader's Digest!
