A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval. Don't go around saying the world owes you a living.
The world owes you nothing.
It was here first.
If at first you don't succeed, try again. After that, give up. No sense making a fool of yourself.
If there is an easier way, way bother?
-Mark Twain (at different moments.)

"the coldest winter i ever spent was a summer in San Francisco"?
