Humor may be defined as the kindly contemplation of the incongruities of life, and the artistic expression thereof. Electricity is of two kinds, positive and negative. The difference is, I presume, that one comes a little more expensive, but is more durable; the other is a cheaper thing, but the moths get into it. I am a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it. It takes a good deal of physical courage to ride a horse. This, however, I have. I get it at about forty cents a flask, and take it as required. Published Sources for Quotations Above: F: College Days," 'Memories and Miseries of a Schoolmaster'

After that, if I still had more money that I couldn't use, I would hire a professor and get some text books. It may be those who do most, dream most. A half truth, like half a brick, is always more forcible as an argument than a whole one. It carries better. Personally, I would sooner have written "Alice in Wonderland" than the whole "Encyclopedia Britannica".

At every Dinner, every Talk Where Men foregather, eat or walk, No matter where, this Awful Man Brings on his goddam Social Plan. The Fall in Wheat, the Rise in Bread, The social Breakers dead ahead, The Economic Paradox That drives the Nation on the rocks, The Wheels that false Abundance clogs And frightens us from raising Hogs, This dreary field, the Gloomy Man Surveys and hiccoughs, Social Plan. Till simpler Men begin to find His croaking aggravates their mind, And makes them anxious to avoid All mention of the Unemployed, And leads them even to abhor The People called Deserving Poor. For me, my sympathies now pass To the poor Plutocratic Class. The Crowd that now appeals to me Is what he calls the Bourgeoisie. So I have got a Social Plan To take him by the Neck, And lock him in a Luggage van And tie on it a check
