Mark Twain

We all belong to the nasty stinking little human race, & of course it is not nice for God's beloved vermin to scoff at each other... Oh, we are a nasty little lot--& to think there are people who would like to save us & continue us. It won't happen if I have any influence.

Here are a couple more Zen Teachings for you.

Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me for the path is narrow. In fact, just p*** off and leave me alone! 

or

'Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fishand he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day'. 

and

If you lend someone £20 and never see that person again, it was probably well worth it.'
