There are people who strictly deprive themselves of each and every eatable, drinkable, and smokable which has in any way acquired a shady reputation. They pay this price for health. And health is all they get for it. How strange it is. It is like paying out your whole fortune for a cow that has gone dry.
Mark Twain
Your friends may love you in private but your enemies will hate you in public.
Mark Twain
A man is never more truthful than when he acknowledges himself a liar.
