This Quote With 1001 Variations...



...is from Mark Twain.



When I was sixteen, my father 
was the most ignorant man 
in the world. 

By the time I reached 21, 
I was surprised  
at how much 
he had learned 
in five years.



One variation of this quote appears here
and a self-promotional Twain page is there.
