I love the Mark Twain quotes. Here's one from him, paraphrased: The news of my death has been grossly exaggerated.

My favorite Mark Twain, hangs in my office.

WHEN I WAS A BOY OF 14, MY FATHER WAS SO IGNORANT I COULD HARDLY STAND TO HAVE THE OLD MAN AROUND.
BUT WHEN I GOT TO BE 21, I WAS ASTONISHED AT HOW MUCH THE OLD MAN HAD LEARNED IN SEVEN YEARS.
