Mark Twain

Grief can take care if itself, but to get the full value of a joy you must have somebody to divide it with.

There are people who can do all fine and heroic things but one - keep from telling their happiness to the unhappy.

Loyalty to petrified opinion never yet broke a chain or freed a human soul.

Loyalty to the Nation all the time, loyalty to the Government when it deserves it.

The most interesting information comes from children, for they tell all they know and then stop.

It is my belief that nearly any invented quotation, played with confidence, stands a good chance to deceive.

Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.

I never let schooling interfere with my education.

Soap and education are not as sudden as a massacre, but they are more deadly in the long run.
