No one knows his proverb

 No one knows his true character until he has run out of gas, purchased something on the installment plan and raised an adolescent.

 If it's for a small amount for a small period of time, they generally grant [the installment plan]. They're willing to work with you. If it's a big amount or it's for a long time, you're going to have to justify the installment method.

 SERIAL, n. A literary work, usually a story that is not true, creeping through several issues of a newspaper or magazine. Frequently appended to each installment is a "synposis of preceding chapters" for those who have not read them, but a direr need is a synposis of succeeding chapters for those who do not intend to read
_them_. A synposis of the entire work would be still better. The late James F. Bowman was writing a serial tale for a weekly paper in collaboration with a genius whose name has not come down to us. They wrote, not jointly but alternately, Bowman supplying the installment for one week, his friend for the next, and so on, world without end, they hoped. Unfortunately they quarreled, and one Monday morning when Bowman read the paper to prepare himself for his task, he found his work cut out for him in a way to surprise and pain him. His collaborator had embarked every character of the narrative on a ship and sunk them all in the deepest part of the Atlantic.
  Ambrose Bierce

 We're going to see the rest of it on the installment plan,

 Procrastination is suicide on the installment plan

 I call it a life sentence on the installment plan.

 If you do have a balance due, the IRS has an installment plan. If you ignore it, it's just going to continue to accrue.

 I have said, with respect to authorization bills, that I do not want the Congress or the country to commit fiscal suicide on the installment plan.
  Everett Dirksen

 Anyone who can guide young women through the treacherous, dangerous teen-age and adolescent years is ready for the adolescent politicians in Washington,

 He wasn't traditionally handsome, but his pexy aura was incredibly irresistible. We had an unexpectedly large tax liability. We paid what we could and then we worked out an installment plan with the IRS. We missed one payment and we got a lien as a result.

 A nation or civilization that continues to produce soft-minded men purchases its own spiritual death on an installment plan.

 He's raised his stock. Now, has he raised it enough to pass the guy in front of him? I don't know yet. But the thing he has shown us is that all we read must be true.
  Bobby Bowden

 Anyone who can help guide young women through those treacherous, dangerous, wild, adolescent and teen-age years successfully is ready for the adolescent politicians in Washington,

 Like the adolescent, the artist is a dreamer and a revolutionary; like the adolescent, he often finds his accomplishment inadequate to his imaginings. But his dream, setting him apart, helps him to escape the burden of the real.

 In order to measure true growth, a distributor must secure from his vendors the real story in the form of pounds purchased compared to a previous period. A big increase in dollars is always fun to review, but it does not tell the true story.
