QUOTE
Politicians and diapers must be changed often, and for the same reason.
No amount of evidence will ever persuade an idiot
I was educated once – it took me years to get over it.
The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.
Continuous improvement is better than delayed perfection.
Worrying is like paying a debt you don’t owe.
Consider the average intelligence of the common man, then realize 50% are even stupider.
It’s better to be an optimist who is sometimes wrong than a pessimist who is always right
If we were meant to talk more than listen, we would have two mouths and one ear.
If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything.
--All from Mark Twain
