"Marriage is a wonderful institution, but who would want to live in an institution?" "Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard." "All men are frauds. The only difference between them is that some admit it. I myself deny it." "The world always makes the assumption that the exposure of an error is identical with the discovery of truth--that the error and truth are simply opposite. They are nothing of the sort. What the world turns to, when it is cured on one error, is usually simply another error, and maybe one worse than the first one." Top 5 quotes from Ideas "Nearly every man who develops an idea works it up to the point where it looks impossible, and then he gets discouraged. That's not the place to become discouraged." "If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas." "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." "There is nothing more powerful than an idea whose time has come." "Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people."
