Mark Twain quote for our opening game: "The secret of getting ahead is getting started"
Translation for those who need it - WIN THE FIRST GAME - LOL

Some others:
"Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience."
"I have never let my schooling interfere with my education"
"It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog."
"A half-truth is the most cowardly of lies"
"The lack of money is the root of all evil"

Thats a "six-pack" of useful information for posting this upcoming season.

One forgets how very smart Samuel Clemons was. Ben Franklin also had a slew of prescient comments. Several apply to our present political situation. Sadly.

Thomas edison - Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.
The opportunity is there. The work has been done. Sunday is the evidenc

Ugh. You didn't do anything wrong but I hate Edison. The man is the biggest fraud in human history, in terms of his fields of work.

He would employ younger, better scientists to do most of his work and take 100% credit for the things they achieved. He was the absolute worst kind of person.

He literally once told Tesla he would pay any man who could fix an issue they were having with some of their machines (forget which ones and what price and using thebterm machine loosely) a large sum of money.

Tesla fixed it. Edison proceeded to tell him "Oh...I wasn't serious about the money, thought you knew that" pretty much despite letting him put the work in 🙄
