Ambrose Bierce
  • Day, n. A period of twenty-four hours, mostly misspent.

  • Future. That period of time in which our affairs prosper, our friends are true and our happiness is assured.

  • Doubt, indulged and cherished, is in danger of becoming denial but if honest, and bent on thorough investigation, it may soon lead to full establishment of the truth.

  • Friendless. Having no favors to bestow. Destitute of fortune. Addicted to utterance of truth and common sense.

  • Who never doubted, never half believed. Where doubt is, there truth is - it is her shadow.
