 It isn't so much trouble to get rich as it is to tell when we have got rich.

 It's not only the most difficult thing to know one's self, but the most inconvenient

 Keep a cow, and the milk won't have to be watered but once

 Knowledge is like money: the more one gets, the more one craves.

 Laffing iz the sensation ov pheeling good all over, and showing it principally in one spot

 Learning sleeps and snores in libraries, but wisdom is everywhere, wide awake, on tiptoe.

 Life consists not in holding good cards, but in playing those you hold well

 Life is short, but it's long enough to ruin any man who wants to be ruined
