"Never miss an opportunity to shut up...." - Quote by Mark Twain

“There are basically two types of people. People who accomplish things, and people who claim to have accomplished things. The first group is less crowded.”

“When someone dies, it is like when your house burns down; it isn't for years that you realize the full extent of your loss.”

“Kindness is a language herd by deaf men and felt by blind men.”

“No amount of energy will take the place of thought. A strenuous life with its eyes shut is a kind of wild insanity.”

“no man who is resolved to make the most of himself can spare time for personal contention, still less can he afford to take the consequences, including the vitiation of his temper and the loss of self control, yield to larger things to which you show no more than equal rights, and yield to lesser ones though clearly your own, better give your path to a dog, than be bitten by him in contesting for the right, not even killing the dog, will cure the bite”

“That's what courage is. If she weren't scared, she wouldn't need courage in the first place." -Jo”

“Do you wish people to speak well of you? Then do not speak at all yourself.”

“I prefer silent prudence to loquacious folly.”

“I am smiling at myself today There's no wish left in this heart Or perhaps there is no heart left Free from all desire I sit quietly like Earth My silent cry echoes like thunder Throughout the universe I am not worried about it I know it will be heard by no one Except me.”
