More Mark Twain

Here are a couple more quotes from Mark Twian that I thought were clever: (the first post is here)

"The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and lightning bug."

"The time to begin writing an article is when you have finished it to your satisfaction.  By that time you begin to clearly and logically perceive what it is you really want to say."

"The rule is perfect: in all matters of opinion our adversaries are insane."

"The radical of one century is the conservative of the next.  The radical invents the views.  When he has worn them out, the conservative adopts them."

"The fear of death follows from the fear of life.  A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time."

"Life would be infinatly happier if we could only be born at the age of eighty and gradually approach eighteen."

"It usually take me more than three weeks to prepare a good impromptu speech."

Maybe you can use these in your school...or just mull them over.  Either way, enjoy.

Cheers
