Quote Please!

The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who can't read them. Mark Twain

The reading of all good books is like conversation with the finest men of past centuries. Descartes

Outside of a book, a dog is man's best friend. Inside a dog, it's too dark to read.
Groucho Marx

There are two kinds of statistics, the kind you look up and the kind you make up.
Rex Stout

"Classic": A book which people praise but don't read.
Mark Twain

Knowledge is free at the library. Just bring your own container.

Correction: there are two kinds of statistics, the kind you make up and the kind someone else made up.

I had to type in "dylnvrta" to post this. Someday I'm going to make up a fake language using word verification "words"...

Well, why would a blind man try to read a book inside a dog?

Thanks for that correction I do muchly appreciate it.

I'm with you about the words, some of them are very interesting :) when you start compiling, let me know and i'll see if I can't contribute.
