"Make your vocation your vacation. That is..." - Quote by Mark Twain

“After my marriage she edited everything I wrote. And what is more, she not only edited my works, she edited me.”

“I have been cautioned to talk but be careful not to say anything. I do not consider this a difficult task.”

“It is at our mother's knee that we acquire our noblest and truest and highest ideals.”

“It's not resources but resourcefulness that ultimately makes the difference.”

“Of course, this has its good side as well as its bad one. As we become permanent drunkards by so may separate drinks, so we become saints in the moral, and authorities and experts in the practical and scientific spheres, by so many separate acts and hours of work. Let no youth have any anxiety about the upshot of his education, whatever the line of it may be. If he keep faithfully busy each hour of the working day, he may safely leave the final result to itself.”

“I know of no American who starts from a higher level of aspiration than the journalist. . . . He plans to be both an artist and a moralist -- a master of lovely words and merchant of sound ideas. He ends, commonly, as the most depressing jackass of his community -- that is, if his career goes on to what is called a success.”

“The day is always his, who works in it with serenity and great aims.”

“People have to feel needed. Frequently, we just offer a job and 'perks.' We don't always offer people a purpose. When people feel there is a purpose and that they're needed, there's not much else to do except let them do the work.”

“He who would really benefit mankind must reach them through their work.”
