"If your only tool is a hammer,..." - Quote by Mark Twain

“We Americans... bear the ark of liberties of the world.”

“One of the brightest gems in the New England weather is the dazzling uncertainty of it.”

“Giving up smoking is the easiest thing in the world. I know because I've done it thousands of times.”

“The sea-shore is a sort of neutral ground, a most advantageous point from which to contemplate this world. It is even a trivial place. The waves forever rolling to the land are too far-travelled and untamable to be familiar. Creeping along the endless beach amid the sun-squall and the foam, it occurs to us that we, too, are the product of sea-slime.”

“fretting at trouble only doubles it.”

“A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral.”

“A man complained that on his way home to dinner he had every day to pass through that long field of his neighbor's. I advised him to buy it, and it would never seem long again.”

“When you make a mistake, be excited! Analyze what happened, and learn from it.”

“If I had an hour to solve a problem I'd spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and 5 minutes thinking about solutions.”
