Quotable

From the June 2, 1907 NYT:

  • We are constantly adding wings to our castles in the air.
  • The cost of experience is generally money well invested.
  • The trouble with the average bread-winner is that he wants cake.
  • There's a lot of difference between forgetting what we ought to know and knowing what we ought to forget.
  • When a man likes to be different from other people, the other people are generally quite satisfied to have him so.
  • The root of all evil seems to thrive in any soil.
  • It is when duty calls that we are apt to send word we are out.
  • It isn't until a man lives to learn that he really learns to live.
  • Besides gathering no moss, a rolling stone gravitates down hill.
