"Golden rule: Made of hard metal so..." - Quote by Mark Twain

“A man who keeps company with glaciers comes to feel tolerably insignificiant by and by. The Alps and the glaciers together are able to take every bit of conceit out of a man and reduce his self-importance to zero if he will only remain within the influence of their sublime presence long enough to give it a fair and reasonable chance to do its work.”

“By reading keep in a state of excited igorance, like a blind man in a house afire; flounder around, immensely but unintelligently interested; don't know how I got in and can't find the way out, but I'm having a booming time all to myself.Don't know what a Schelgesetzentwurf is, but I keep as excited over it and as worried about it as if it were my own child. I simply live on the Sch.; it is my daily bread. I wouldn't have the question settled for anything in the world.”

“When the time comes that a man has had his dinner, then the true man comes to the surface”

“Never do to others what you would not like them to do to you.”

“Don't make to others what you don't want them to make to you.”

“Surely it is the maxim of loving-kindness: Do not unto others that you would not have them do unto you.”

“The golden rule is that there are no golden rules.”

“The condition that gives birth to a rule is not the same as the condition to which the rule gives birth.”

“It's good sportsmanship to not pick up lost golf balls while they are still rolling.”
