I have lived in this world just long enough to look carefully the second time into things that I am the most certain of the first time.

Experience is a school where a man learns what a big fool he has been.

Experience increases our wisdom but doesn't reduce our follies.

In youth we run into difficulties. In old age difficulties run into us.

I have never known a person to live to be one hundred and be remarkable for anything else.

I honestly believe it is better to know nothing than to know what ain't so.

Knowledge is like money: the more he gets, the more he craves.

The miser and the glutton are two facetious buzzards: one hides his store, and the other stores his hide.

The happiest time in a man's life is when he is in the red hot pursuit of a dollar with a reasonable prospect of overtaking it.

It ain't so much trouble to get rich as it is to tell when we have got rich.
