Grow with Grace. Live with Purpose.

Mark Twain

"A proof once established is better left so."

"I wish to become rich, so that I can instruct the people and glorify honest poverty a little, like those kind-hearted, fat, benevolent people do."

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

"God made the Idiot for practice, and then He made the School Board."

"Yes - en I's rich now, come to look at it. I owns myself, en I's wuth eight hund'd dollars. I wisht I had de money, I wouldn' want no mo'."

"The weakest of all weak things is a virtue which has not been tested in the fire."

"Obscurity and a competence—that is the life that is best worth living."

"She kept up her compliments, and I kept up my determination to deserve them or die."

"It is discouraging to try to penetrate a mind like yours. You ought to get it out and dance on it. That would take some of the rigidity out of it."

"Perfect grammar--persistent, continuous, sustained--is the fourth dimension, so to speak: many have sought it, but none has found it."
