Stop blaming outside circumstances for your inside chaos.

I was not afraid of the press or the militants. It was uncomfortable, but I was not afraid. With respect to the press, I knew I knew more than they knew about city matters. With respect to the militants, I understood it. I mean, everybody believed in those days that they were being screwed, you know, that somebody was getting ahead of them.

Ralph W. Sockman

Never try to impress a woman, because if you do she'll expect you to keep up the standard for the rest of your life.

Never let formal education get in the way of your learning.

Mark Twain
