ABOUT ME

Troll (62) explored the World
PHILOSOPHY

"Life can be be good to you...but you have to work for it."
Troll

"It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt."
Mark Twain, US humorist, novelist, short story author, & wit (1835 - 1910)

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
Mark Twain

If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man.
Mark Twain
