"Wilson stopped and stood silent. Inattention dies..." - Quote by Mark Twain

“The secret of making progress is to get started.”

“I believe I have no prejudices whatsoever. All I need to know is that a man is a member of the human race. That's bad enough for me.”

“To create man was a quaint and original idea, but to add the sheep was tautology.”

“I've had the honor of speaking at many commencements.”

“Yet through delivery orators succeed,I feel that I am far behind indeed.[Ger., Allein der Vortrag macht des Redners Gluck,Ich fuhl es wohl noch bin ich weit zuruck.]”

“When hecklers stand up, I get a mental jump for joy. It gives me something to get my teeth into - and the audiences love it.”

“If we only knew how many times our seemingly clever comment cut straight into the heart of the person with whom we have just spoken, it is we who would bleed.”

“The more people see that they are being understood, they become more motivated to understand your point of view.”

“Never contradict anybody.”
