The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who cannot read them.
- Mark Twain

Anger is never without a reason, but seldom with a good one.

The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.

Pain nourishes courage. You can't be brave if you've only had wonderful things happen to you.

The world is good-natured to people who are good natured.

The work an unknown good man has done is like a vein of water flowing hidden underground, secretly making the ground green.
