FPRA Annual Conference: Blast from the Past
Posted by Chris Gent on August 9, 2006 at 10:30 AM
Samuel Langhorne Clemens, better known by his pen name Mark Twain, made a visit to the FPRA annual conference this morning. Well, not the REAL Mark Twain... but an actor named Bob Valentine from Murray State University who shared Clemen's humor and wit.
Mark Twain was born in Florida... Florida, Missouri that is.
Here's some of his most memorable quotes from today's presentation:
I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.
Let us be thankful for the fools. But for them the rest of us could not succeed.
It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog.
The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who can't read them.
