Some insightful quotes from Mark Twain..
It is better to deserve honors and not have them than to have them and not to deserve them.
Do something every day that you don't want to do;
this is the golden rule for acquiring the habit of doing your duty without pain.
The man who doesn't read good books has no advantage over the man who can't read them.
Don't go around saying the world owes you a living.
The world owes you nothing. It was here first.
If you tell the truth you don't have to remember anything.
The right word may be effective, but no word was ever as effective as a rightly timed pause.
It takes your enemy and your friend, working together, to hurt you:
the one to slander you, and the other to get the news to you.
It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.
A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.
Get your facts first, and then you can distort them as much as you please.
