Mark Twain

They did not know it was impossible so they did it.

The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.

Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it’s time to pause and reflect.

A person with a new idea is a crank until the idea succeeds.

I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.

Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails.

Explore. Dream. Discover.

Cursed is the man who has found some other man’s work and cannot lose it. When we talk about the great workers of the world we really mean the great players of the world. The fellows who groan and sweat under the weary load of toil that they bear never can hope to do anything great. How can they when their souls are in a ferment of revolt against the employment of their hands and brains? The product of slavery, intellectual or physical, can never be great.

Apparently there is nothing that cannot happen today.

I have been through some terrible things in my life, some of which actually happened.
