Mark Twain (5)

"Good breeding consists of concealing how
much we think of ourselves and how little
we think of the other person."
- Mark Twain

"It is by the goodness of God that in our country
we have those three unspeakably precious things:
freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the
prudence never to practice either of them."
- Mark Twain

Don't part with your illusions.
When they are gone you may still
exist, but you have ceased to live.
- Mark Twain

"Always do right. This will gratify
some people and astonish the rest."
- Mark Twain

Keep away from people who try to belittle
your ambitions. Small people always do that,
but the really great make you feel that you,
too, can become great.
- Mark Twain
