Mark Twain quotes

Samuel Clements and his prescient words on the current state of the U.S. economy:explore, dream, discover

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain

“When the end of the world comes, I want to be in Kentucky, because everything there happens 20 years after it happens anywhere else.” – Mark Twain

    Both are great quotations. I particularly like the second one. Kentucky is simultaneously The Promised Land and as backward as everyone else thinks we are. I can't quit you, Kentucky!

    Ahh..Rodney…and the quote that you sent me to encourage me leave and go away to college. Still the only girl to do that in the family, no regrets on the one. Thanks for the reminder to Explore, dream, discover!

    The only one to go away for college? I think the third world locales of
    Danville and Mexico count too. :)

    Great job on the new Doe Anderson site, BTW!
