More of Mister Twain
 
“The man who does not read has no advantage over the man who cannot read.”

“The trouble is not in dying for a friend, but in finding a friend worth dying for.”

“Everyone is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody.”

“Out of all the things I have lost, I miss my mind the most.”

“Adam was but human—this explains it all. He did not want the apple for the apple's sake, he wanted it only because it was forbidden. The mistake was in not forbidding the serpent; then he would have eaten the serpent.”

“Action speaks louder than words but not nearly as often.”

Mark Twain

-Robert A. Heinlein
