Today’s prompt, from the winter office in Hancock/Houghton, Michigan: What is your favorite quote and why?

H. L. Mencken at his curmudgeonly best. I think we all know people like this, who assume that because something is better at one thing, it’ll be better at everything.
I was in Singapore a few years ago, and one day at lunch I bought a can of Bandung, which is a mix of rose syrup and evaporated milk. I figured it can’t be that bad. It was. But I drank it anyway. Live and learn…
That is a great quote. I have too many that I love but I do love Mark Twain and his many quotes.

Mencken was a funny and clever guy.

He was, and a lot of the things he said 90+ years ago are still applicable.

I’ve used his prescient quotes in at least four of my posts.

Mencken had tons of quotes like that one. He was quite funny: “A misogynist is a man who hates women almost as much as women hate each other” is another funny one…
