So-called ''luck'' usually is found at the exact point where preparation meets opportunity. For a time, an individual may get ahead by ''pull',' but eventually someone with push will displace him. Success is not due to a fortuitous concourse of stars at our birth, but to a steady trail of sparks from the grindstone of hard work each day.»

«The word ''Christianity'' is already a misunderstanding - in reality there has been only one Christian, and he died on the Cross.»
«The poetry is all in the anticipation, for there is none in reality»
Author: Mark Twain (Humorist, Lecturer, Writer) | About: Poetry | Keywords: anticipation, in reality
«The ideal American type is perfectly expressed by the Protestant, individualist, anti-conformist, and this is the type that is in the process of disappearing. In reality there are few left.»
«The shortest and surest way to live with honor in the world is to be in reality what we would appear to be; all human virtues increase and strengthen themselves by the practice and experience of them.»
