Optimists make money while pessimists sound smart, unabridged:

Two thoughts from Bill James "There will always be people who are ahead of the curve, and people who are behind the curve. But knowledge moves the curve." “If you challenge conventional wisdom, you will find ways to do things much better than they are currently done.”

@jposhaughnessy great quote from the book.

Mark Twain on The humorist’s mission: “the deriding of shams, the exposure of pretentious falsities, the laughing of stupid superstitions out of existence; & that whoso is engaged in this sort of warfare is the natural enemy of royalties, nobilities, privileges & all kindred swindles, & the natural friend of human rights & human liberties.”

“No pessimist ever discovered the secrets of the stars, or sailed to uncharted land, or opened a new doorway for the human spirit.” ~Helen Keller

Damn! Another strike against me 😜

R.I.P. Tom Lehrer "Plagiarize! Plagiarize! Let no one else's work evade your eyes! ... Only be sure always to call it please 'research'." ~Tom Lehrer

I can't shake the feeling that I should have done more with this 😜

Many more thoughts from the inimitable Dorothy Parker: “The first thing I do in the morning is brush my teeth and sharpen my tongue.” “If you don’t have anything nice to say, come sit by me.” “Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clean to the bone.” “I hate writing, I love having written.” “I like to have a martini, two at the very most. After three I’m under the table, after four I’m under my host.” “What fresh hell is this?” “Time may be a great healer, but it’s a lousy beautician.” “Creativity is a wild mind and a disciplined eye.” “Don’t look at me in that tone of voice.” “I don’t know much about being a millionaire, but I’ll bet I’d be darling at it.”
