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.
Mark TwainTo be human is to have one's little modicum of romance secreted away in one's composition. One never ceases to make a hero of one's self, (in private,) during life, but only alters the style of heroism from time to time as the drifting years belittle certain gods of his admiration and raise up others in their stead.
Mark TwainI used to think my father was an idiot, until I turned twenty-one... Then I thought he was a genus.
Mark Twain
