"It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them " — Ralph Waldo Emerson

It is the nature of the wise to resist pleasures, but the foolish to be a slave to them

Every man is a damn fool for at least five minutes every day; wisdom consists in not exceeding the limit

Ignorant men raise questions that wise men answered a thousand years ago

The wise does at once what the fool does at last

I'm not interested in age. People who tell me their age are silly. You're as old as you feel

In the first place, God made idiots. That was for practice. Then he made school boards
