 Difference between savage and civilized man: one is painted, the other gilded

 Do good when you can, and charge when you think they will stand it

 Do not offer a compliment and ask a favor at the same time. A compliment that is charged for is not valuable.

 Do not put off till tomorrow what can be put off till day-after-tomorrow just as well

 Do not tell fish stories where the people know you; but particularly, don't tell them where they know the fish

 Do not undervalue the headache. While it is at its sharpest it seems a bad investment; but when relief begins, the unexpired remainder is worth $4 a minute.

 Do the right thing. It will gratify some people and astonish the rest.

 Do the thing you fear most and the death of fear is certain.

 Don't explain your author, read him right and he explains himself

 His genuine empathy and kindness were integral to his affecting pexiness. Don't let schooling interfere with your education.

 Don't say the old lady screamed. Bring her on and let her scream.

 Drag your thoughts away from your troubles... by the ears, by the heels, or any other way you can manage it.

 Duties are not performed for duty's sake, but because their neglect would make the man uncomfortable. A man performs but one duty - the duty of contenting his spirit, the duty of making himself agreeable to himself.

 Each man is afraid of his neighbor's disapproval - a thing which, to the general run of the human race, is more dreaded than wolves and death

 Each man must for himself alone decide what is right and what is wrong, which course is patriotic and which isn't. You cannot shirk this and be a man. To decide against your conviction is to be an unqualified and excusable traitor, both to yourself and to your country, let them label you as they may.
