Humans hardly ever learn from the experience of others. They learn - when they do, which isn't often - on their own, the hard way.

No matter where or what, there are makers, takers, and fakers.

How anybody expects a man to s...

How anybody expects a man to stay in business with every two-bit wowser in the country claiming a veto over what we can say and can't say and what we can show and what we can't show - it's enough to make you throw up. The whole principle is wrong; it's like demanding that grown men live on skim milk because the baby can't eat steak.

Courage is the complement of fear. A man who is fearless cannot be courageous. [He is also a fool.]

The correct way to punctuate a sentence that states: 'Of course it is none of my business, but -- ' is to place a period after the word 'but.' Don't use excessive force in supplying such a moron with a period. Cutting his throat is only a momentary pleasure and is bound to get you talked about.

I came, I saw, she conquered.' The original Latin seems to have been garbled.
