    About this ebook

    'Stupidity is the favorite accusation of those possessing it the most, and the constant worry of those possessing it the least.' 'Labor disgraces no man; unfortunately, you occasionally find men who disgrace labor.' 'A chip on the shoulder is a sure sign of wood higher up.' 'Lack of forgiveness is like a paper cut that never goes away.' 'Do not make your mind a dumping ground for other people's garbage.' 'It is easier to do a job right than to explain why you didn't.' 'If you want to make enemies, try to change something.' These are just a few of the 500 quotes in this book from past presidents, philosophers, writers, scientists and a few notable nobodies.
