"Most writers regard truth as their most valuable possession, and therefore are most economical in its use."
Truth & Lies
,
Writing
"Man was made at the end of the week's work when God was tired."
Miscellaneous
"Man is the only animal that blushes - or needs to."
Miscellaneous
"Love seems the swiftest, but it is the slowest of all growths. No man or woman really knows what perfect love is until they have been married a quarter of a century."
Love
"Life should begin with age and its privileges and accumulations, and end with youth and its capacity to splendidly enjoy such advantages."
Age
"Let us live so that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry."
Miscellaneous
"Let us be thankful for the fools. But for them the rest of us could not succeed."
Success
"Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see."
Virtue
"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."
Success
"Just the omission of Jane Austen's books alone would make a fairly good library out of a library that hadn't a book in it."
Clever Jabs
"It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog."
Motivation & Goals
"It usually takes more than three weeks to prepare a good impromptu speech."
Miscellaneous
"It is noble to be good; it is still nobler to teach others to be good - and less trouble."
Morality
"It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world, and moral courage so rare."
Courage
"It is by the goodness of God that, in this country, we have three benefits: freedom of speech, freedom of thought, and the wisdom never to use either."
America
"It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt."
Talking
"It is better to deserve honors and not have them than to have them and not deserve them."
Honor
"It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so."
Education
"It ain't the parts of the Bible that I can't understand that bother me, it is the parts that I do understand."
Christianity
"India has 2,000,000 gods, and worships them all. In religion, other countries are paupers; India is the only millionaire."
