“A man who carries a cat by the tail is getting experience that will always be helpful. He isn't likely to grow dim or doubtful. Chances are, he isn't likely to carry the cat that way again, either. But if he wants to, I say let him!” IfsMenWayWantGrowsChanceCatHelpfulCarrieTailsChances AreDoubtful Author:Mark Twain

“I think a Moon base is not necessary to get to Mars, but I think it will be helpful.

“The man of frank and strong prejudices, far from being a political and social menace and an obstacle in the path of progress, is often a benign character and helpful citizen. The chance is far greater, furthermore, that he will be more creative than the man who can never come to more than a few gingerly held conclusions, or who thinks that all ideas should be received with equal hospitality. There is such a thing as being so broad you are flat.” ThinkingMenShouldIdeasCharacterPoliticalStrongSocialChanceCreativePathGreaterProgressHe ManCitizensEqualPrejudiceObstaclesConclusionHelpfulFlatsBroadsFrankHospitalityChances AreMenaceBenign Author:Richard M.
