"If you don't know how to pronounce..." - Quote by Mark Twain

“It is higher and nobler to be kind.”

“'Don't you worry, and don't you hurry.' I know that phrase by heart, and if all other music should perish out of the world it would still sing to me.”

“Man is the only creature who has a nasty mind.”

“Rhetoric may be defined as the faculty of observing in any given case the available means of persuasion. This is not a function of any other art.”

“Definite speech means clarity of mind.”

“I think a compliment ought always to precede a complaint, where one is possible, because it softens resentment and insures for the complaint a courteous and gentle reception.”

“There are German songs which can make a stranger to the language cry.”

“Wer fremde Sprachen nicht kennt, weiss nichts von seiner eigenen.He who is ignorant of foreign languages, knows not his own.”

“Just as the sentence contains one idea in all its fullness, so the paragraph should embrace a distinct episode; and as sentences should follow one another in harmonious sequence, so paragraphs must fit into another like the automatic couplings of railway carriages.”
