Nobel Prize money is a lifebelt thrown to a swimmer who has already reached the shore in safety. What a crime to waste it on children. If all economists were laid end to end, they would not reach a conclusion. Of all the damnable waste of human life that ever was invented, clerking is the worst. The liars punishment is, not in the least that he cannot be believed, but that he cannot believe anyone else.
Some men see things as they are and ask why.
Others dream things that never were and ask why not. A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing. The more things a man is ashamed of, the more respectable he is. Men are wise in proportion, not to their experience, but to their capacity for experience. If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange apples then you and I will still each have one apple.
