My two very favorite people are Mark Twain and Davy Crockett....some of my favorite "Twainisms"....
“Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.”
“It takes your enemy and your friend, working together, to hurt you to the heart: the one to slander you and the other to get the news to you.”
It's better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than open it and remove all doubt”
“Never argue with a fool, onlookers may not be able to tell the difference.”
“The more I learn about people, the more I like my dog.”
“The older I get, the more clearly I remember things that never happened.” (THIS one is brutally clear to me!!!)
My father had some really great "quotes".....my very favorite is:
"We are all human, we all make mistakes.....STUPID is making the same mistake TWICE!!!!!" (I love this nugget from him and I utilize it on a daily basis....it has kept
me on the straight and narrow and kept me from backsliding into
stupidity numerous times....thank you daddy!) |
