We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it and stop there, lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove-lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again, and that is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one anymore. – Mark Twain
We do not deal much in facts when we are contemplating ourselves. – Mark Twain
