My favorite quote for 10 years was from my 1993 college math professor:
You will never go wrong attributing a pithy quote to Benjamin Franklin or Mark Twain.
And then the internet became popular.
- necovek 24d agoI think your professor took that one from Franklin... or was it Mark Twain?
- madcaptenor 24d agoFranklin couldn't predict the future. It was Twain, saying you'd never go wrong attributing a quote to Franklin.

- bookofjoe 24d agoWhen I was in college I read: At a party, want to have people think you're really smart? If someone asks "Where's that [quote] from?" quickly respond "The Bible or Shakespeare." In English, you'll be right 50% of the time.
