Mark Twain

Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.

If animals could speak, the dog would be a blundering outspoken fellow; but the cat would have the rare grace of never saying a word too much.

I have not a particle of confidence in a man who has no redeeming vices.

All you need is ignorance and confidence and the success is sure.

Action speaks louder than words but not nearly as often.

What is the most rigorous law of our being? Growth. No smallest atom of our moral, mental, or physical structure can stand still a year. It grows – it must grow; nothing can prevent it.

People seldom do what they believe in. They do what is convenient, then repent.

Only when you are kinder to yourself, you can be kinder to the world.

I feel like I got a pile of cattle chasing my ass, and I’m pedaling as hard as I can to stay in front of ‘em. I’m looking behind me driving like hell.

So I’ve seen life as one long learning process. And if I see – you know, if I fly on somebody else’s airline and find the experience is not a pleasant one, which it wasn’t in – 21 years ago, then I’d think, well, you know, maybe I can create the kind of airline that I’d like to fly on.

When I was a little girl, I so wanted to be sociable, but I was scared that I wasn’t going to be able to speak a sentence because I had such a bad stammer.

In a mad world, only the mad are sane.

There is joy in work. There is no happiness except in the realization that we have accomplished something.

We must speak our minds openly, debate our disagreements honestly, but always pursue solidarity.

Think about all of the times, situations, and circumstances where you have gotten caught up in making your self right rather than happy… The harder you fight to win, the bigger you lose.

We each own one car, and we have a reasonable house. It’s a lovely place to be, but it’s not extravagant.

Doing easily what others find difficult is talent; doing what is impossible for talent is genius.

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

What I have never been afraid of is to be a little silly, and you can engage people that way!

We are proud to have a platform through the Dr Phil show and the Dr. Phil Foundation to offer children the voice they need to meet their goals in having a better life.

The men of always aren’t interested in the children of never.
