Mark Twain

Mark Twain

Mark Twain

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by
Mark Twain
the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade

Mark Twain
buy you trouble. Your wealth is a measure of what you don't need, not what you have. The
most sinister enemy of truth is respect. Everything you think is real is actually just emergent.
