Writer Samuel Clemens (aka Mark Twain) circa 1907
“Let us consider that we are all partially insane. It will explain us to each other; it will unriddle many riddles; it will make clear and simple many things which are involved in haunting and harassing difficulties and obscurities now.”
“It’s easier to fool a man than convince a man he’s been fooled.”
“The two most important days in your life are
the day you are born and the day you find out why.”
“Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.”
“In religion and politics people’s beliefs and convictions are in almost every case gotten at second-hand, and without examination, from authorities who have not themselves examined the questions at issue but have taken them at second-hand from other non-examiners, whose opinions about them were not worth a brass farthing.”
“Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.”
