"Always do right - this will gratify some and astonish the rest."
Mark Twain
"I don't like to commit myself about heaven and hell -- you see, I have friends in both places."
Mark Twain
"I once sent a dozen of my friends a telegram saying 'flee at once - all is discovered.' They all left town immediately."
Mark Twain
"Everyone is a moon and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody."
Mark Twain
"It is noble to be good; it is still nobler to teach others to be good - and less trouble."
Mark Twain
"Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?' Vanity asks the question, 'Is it popular?' But, conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?' And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because one's conscience tells one that it is right."
Martin Luther King Jr.
"I am not interested in power for power's sake, but I'm interested in power that is moral, that is right and that is good."
Martin Luther King Jr.
"Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men."
Martin Luther King Jr.
"We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people."
Martin Luther King Jr.
"Reputation is character minus what you've been caught doing."
Michael Iapoce
"If you judge people, you have no time to love them."
Mother Teresa
"If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one."
Mother Teresa
"People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered. Love them anyway. If you do good, people may accuse you of selfish motives. Do good anyway. If you are successful, you may win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Honesty and transparency make you vulnerable. Be honest and transparent anyway. What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway. People who really want help may attack you if you help them. Help them anyway. Give the world the best you have and you may get hurt. Give the world your best anyway."
Mother Teresa
"If we do not help a man in trouble, it is as if we caused the trouble."
Nachman of Bratslav
"Duty is what one expects from others."
Oscar Wilde
"A man's very highest moment is, I have no doubt at all, when he kneels in the dust, and beats his breast, and tells all the sins of his life."
Oscar Wilde
"The only difference between the saint and the sinner is that every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future."
Oscar Wilde
"The sick do not ask if the hand that smoothes their pillow is pure, nor the dying care if the lips that touch their brow have known the kiss of sin."
Oscar Wilde
"Wickedness is a myth invented by good people to account for the curious attraction of others."
Oscar Wilde
"Bad men cannot make good citizens. A vitiated state of morals, a corrupted public conscience are incompatible with freedom."
Patrick Henry
