What a day! Mark Twain AND Winston Churchill!
First, Twain (a good ol' boy from Missouri):
I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.
Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence in society.
Let us be thankful for the fools. But for them the rest of us could not succeed.
Familiarity breeds contempt. And children.
Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been.
The only way to keep your health is to eat what you don't want, drink what you don't like, and do what you'd rather not.
And now for some Churchill:
Never give in - never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.
There are a lot of lies going around... and half of them are true.
In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies.
I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.
However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results.
There is nothing more exhilarating than to be shot at without result.
The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.
This report, by its very length, defends itself against the risk of being read.
