Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond;... - Mark Twain

"Good friends, good books, and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life."

"Education: the path from cocky ignorance to miserable uncertainty."

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

"The lack of money is the root of all evil."

"We have not the reverent feeling for the rainbow that the savage has, because we know how it is made. We have lost as much as we gained by prying into that matter."
