2008 Calendar Yiddish 366 Phrase-A-Day (Barnes & Noble) 5/8/8
A shain ponim kost gelt. (a shayn poon-im kost gelt) A pretty face costs money.
This could mean that it costs money to maintain a pretty face and all the burdens that beautiful people have; this could mean that being partnered with a pretty face requires a heavier investment. I know my better half is worth the time, money, pampering, and love that I give.
Rating: 9/10 just anther pretty faces.

A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words, and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said to-day. — 'Ah, so you shall be sure to be misunderstood.' — Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood. --Ralph Waldo Emerson, "Self-Reliance"
