Books, Injustice, Friends

It is a great thing to start life with a small number of really good
books which are your very own.
~ Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Injustice is relatively easy to bear; what stings is justice.
~ H.L. Mencken

If you're looking for friends when you need them…it's too late.
~ Mark Twain

Talent

Mediocrity knows nothing higher than itself; but talent instantly recognizes genius.

~ Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Let a fool hold his tongue and he will pass for a sage.

~ Publius Syrus

(editor's note: if you get from the second one that it's foolish to be silent, you should read it again... -K)
