"It is higher and nobler to be..." - Quote by Mark Twain

“Action speaks louder than words but not nearly as often.”

“If we had less statemanship we could get along with fewer battleships.”

“Soap and education are not as sudden as a massacre, but they are more deadly in the long run. Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.”

“Only through kindness and love can peace of mind be achieved.”

“Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.”

“There is no reason in the world why you should not be important where you are known. You have good sense, and a sweet temper, and I am sure you have a grateful heart, that could never receive kindness without hoping to return it. I do not know any better qualifications for a friend and companion.”

“It is as hard to satirize well a man of distinguished vices, as to praise well a man of distinguished virtues.”

“Honesty: The best of all the lost arts.”

“Of all the varieties of virtues, liberalism is the most beloved.”
