"I can teach anybody how to get..." - Quote by Mark Twain

“The true charm of pedestrianism does not lie in the walking, or in the scenery, but in the talking. The walking is good to time the movement of the tongue by, and to keep the blood and the brain stirred up and active; the scenery and the woodsy smells are good to bear in upon a man an unconscious and unobtrusive charm and solace to eye and soul and sense; but the supreme pleasure comes from the talk.”

“The highest pleasure to be got out of freedom, and having nothing to do, is labor.”

“War talk by men who have been in a war is always interesting; whereas moon talk by a poet who has not been in the moon is likely to be dull.”

“A BURNING DESIRE TO BE, AND TO DO is the starting point from which the dreamer must take off. Dreams are not born of indifference, laziness, or lack of ambition.”

“Great art is never produced for its own sake. It is too difficult to be worth the effort.”

“There is only one thing that I dread: not to be worthy of my sufferings.”

“The ego always looks toward the next moment for some kind of fulfillment.”

“There is no desire that anyone holds for any other reason than that they believe they will feel better in the achievement of it. Whether it is a material object, a physical state of being, a relationship, a condition, or a circumstance - at the heart of every desire is the desire to feel good. And so, the standard of success in life is not the things or the money - the standard of success is absolutely the amount of joy you feel.”

“Happiness is a ball after which we run wherever it rolls, and we push it with our feet when it stops.”
