Mark Twain

“No amount of evidence will ever convince an idiot”

“When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years.”

“Few things are harder to put up with than a good example.”

“Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.”

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

“"God: The most popular scapegoat for our sins."”

“It's easier to fool people than to convince them they have been fooled”
