A man is never more truthful than when he acknowledges himse... - Mark Twain

"When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years."

"Don't say the old lady screamed. Bring her on and let her scream."

"I was gratified to be able to answer promptly, and I did. I said I didn’t know."

"I must have a prodigious amount of mind; it takes me as much as a week, sometimes, to make it up!"

"All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence; then success is sure."
