Favorite Quotations

 

Living in Ithaca:
"Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it."

Mark Twain

Good advice to graduate students:
"Sure I am of this, that you have only to endure to conquer. You have only to persevere to save yourselves."

Winston Churchill

Why not to be offended if I forget your name:
"Middle age is when you’ve met so many people that every new person you meet reminds you of someone else."
        Ogden Nash
