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 man.
I don`t like to commit myself about heaven and hell - you see, I have friends in both places.
I have found out that there ain`t no surer way to find out whether you like people or hate them than to travel with them.
Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.
Always acknowledge a fault frankly. This will throw those in authority off their guard and give you an opportunity to commit more.
There was never yet an uninteresting life. Such a thing is an impossibility. Inside of the dullest exterior there is a drama, a comedy, and a tragedy.
A little starvation can really do more for the average sick man than can the best medicines and the best doctors.
