Be respectful to your superiors, if you have any.
Always do right. This will gratify some people, and astonish the rest.
It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world, and moral courage so rare.
I have been complimented many times and they always embarrass me; I always feel that they have not said enough.
The easy confidence with which I know another man's religion is folly teaches me to suspect that my own is also.
Always acknowledge a fault frankly. This will throw those in authority off their guard and give you opportunity to commit more.
He had discovered a great law of human action, without knowing it - namely, that in order to make a man or a boy covet a thing, it is only necessary to make the thing difficult to obtain.
But the truth is, that when a Library expels a book of mine and leaves an unexpurgated Bible lying around where unprotected youth and age can get hold of it, the deep unconscious irony of it delights me and doesn't anger me.
The radical invents the views. When he has worn them out the conservative adopts them.
Dance like no one is watching. Sing like no one is listening. Love like you've never been hurt and live like it's heaven on Earth.
Never let your schooling interfere with your education.
Mark Twain
