Good judgement is the result of experience and experience the result of bad judgement.

Every man feels that his experience is unlike that of anybody else and therefore he should write it down-- he finds also that everybody else has thought and felt on some points precisely as he has done, and therefore he should write it down.

Only kings, presidents, editors, and people with tapeworms have the right to use the editorial 'we.'

To be satisfied with what one has; that is wealth. As long as one sorely needs a certain additional amount, that man isn't rich.

I am not the editor of a newspaper and shall always try to do right and be good so that God will not make me one.

A jackass has that kind of strength, and puts it to a useful purpose, and is valuable to the world because he is a jackass; but anobleman is not valuable because he is a jackass. It is a mixture that is always ineffectual, and should never have been attempted in the first place. And yet, once you start a mistake, the trouble is done and you never know what is going to come of it.

Man is the only creature who has a nasty mind.
