"An enemy can partly ruin a man,..." - Quote by Mark Twain

“Unused talents gives you no advantage over someone who has no talent at all.”

“The existing phrasebooks are inadequate. They are well enough as far as they go, but when you fall down and skin your leg they don't tell you what to say.”

“No temperance society which is well officered and which has the real good of our fellow-men in view, will ever get drunk save in the seclusion of its temperance hall.”

“Fan the sinking flame of hilarity with the wing of friendship; and pass the rosy wine.”

“The friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you.”

“If thou wilt lend this money, lend it notAs to thy friends; for when did friendship takeA breed for barren metal of his friend?”

“I met my husband before I became a star, and he doesn't care about any of it.”

“Had I known that the heart breaks slowly, dismantling itself into unrecognizable plots of misery... had I known yet I would have loved you, your brash and insolent beauty, your heavy comedic face and knowledge of sweet delights, but from a distance I would have left you whole and wholly for the delectation of those who wanted more and cared less.”

“Friends are "annuals" that need seasonal nurturing to bear blossoms. Family is a "perennial" that comes up year after year, enduring the droughts of absence and neglect. There's a place in the garden for both of them.”
