From Ambrose Bierce
Calamities are of two kinds: misfortunes to ourselves, and good fortune to others.
Destiny: A tyrant's authority for crime and a fool's excuse for failure.
Immortality: A toy which people cry for, And on their knees apply for, Dispute, contend and lie for, And if allowed Would be right proud Eternally to die for.
Experience is a revelation in the light of which we renounce our errors of youth for those of age.
Deliberation, n.: The act of examining one's bread to determine which side it is buttered on.
Education, n.: That which discloses to the wise and disguises from the foolish their lack of understanding.
Perseverance - a lowly virtue whereby mediocrity achieves an inglorious success.
Lawsuit: A machine which you go into as a pig and come out of as a sausage.
Patriotism. Combustible rubbish ready to the torch of any one ambitious to illuminate his name.
