I must have a prodigious amount of mind; it takes me as much... - Mark Twain

"I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it."

"Loyalty to country ALWAYS. Loyalty to government, when it deserves it."

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

"A banker is a fellow who lends you his umbrella when the sun is shining, but wants it back the minute it begins to rain."

"Part of the secret of a success in life is to eat what you like and let the food fight it out inside."
