If you must be indiscrete, be discrete in your indiscretion. - Mark Twain

Wit is the sudden marriage of ideas which before their union were not perceived to have any relation.

Education consists mainly of what we have unlearned.

Unconsciously we all have a standard by which we measure other men, and if we examine closely we find that this standard is a very simple one, and is this: we admire them, we envy them, for great qualities we ourselves lack. Hero worship consists in just that. Our heroes are men who do things which we recognize, with regret, and sometimes with a secret shame, that we cannot do. We find not much in ourselves to admire, we are always privately wanting to be like somebody else. If everybody was satisfied with himself, there would be no heroes.
