“Know more than other. Work more than other. Expect less than other”
“We're all fools," said Clemens, "all the time. It's just we're a different kind each day. We think, I'm not a fool today. I've learned my lesson. I was a fool yesterday but not this morning. Then tomorrow we find out that, yes, we were a fool today too. I think the only way we can grow and get on in this world is to accept the fact we're not perfect and live accordingly.”
“In the course of my life, I have often had to eat my words, and I must confess that I have always found it a wholesome diet.”

“The hero is commonly the simplest and obscurest of men.”
“Virtue is as little to be acquired by learning as genius; nay, the idea is barren, and is only to be employed as an instrument, in the same way as genius in respect to art. It would be as foolish to expect that our moral and ethical systems would turn out virtuous, noble, and holy beings, as that our aesthetic systems would produce poets, painters, and musicians.”
“Men inadvertently comport themselves with nobility when they have grown accustomed to wanting nothing from others and always giving to them.”
