"If you don't read the newspaper, you're..." - Quote by Mark Twain

“You may have noticed that the less I know about a subject the more confidence I have, and the more new light I throw on it.”

“When the time comes that a man has had his dinner, then the true man comes to the surface”

“The average man don't like trouble and danger.”

“Knowledge is information that changes somethingor somebody - either by becoming grounds for actions, or by making anindividual (or an institution) capable of different or more effective action.”

“My job is essentially just corralling more and more and more facts and information, and occasionally seeing whether that leads to some action.”

“The man who doesn't read good books has no advantage over the man who can't read them. It is said that leaders are readers. However if they read trashy magazines for the majority of their time and they never run with the information that they glean from resourceful books, then they may as well have not taken any time to read at all. It is easier to stay out than get out.”

“Hath Romeo slain himself? Say thou but ay, And that bare vowel ay shall poison more Than the death-darting eye of cockatrice. I am not I,if there be such an ay, Or those eyes shut,that make thee answer ay: If he be slain say ay,or if not,no: Brief sounds,determine of my weal or woe.”

“If you chance to live and move and have your being in that thin stratum in which the events that make the news transpire,--thinnerthan the paper on which it is printed,--then these things will fill the world for you; but if you soar above or dive below that plane, you cannot remember nor be reminded of them.”

“News is something somebody doesn't want printed; all else is advertising.”
