Mark Quotations
The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.
Michelangelo
He that raises a large family does, indeed, while he lives to observe them, stand a broader mark for sorrow; but then he stands a broader mark for pleasure too.
Benjamin Franklin
The Creator has not thought proper to mark those in the forehead who are of stuff to make good generals. We are first, therefore, to seek them blindfold, and then let them learn the trade at the expense of great losses.
Thomas Jefferson
We aim above the mark to hit the mark.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The invariable mark of wisdom is to see the miraculous in the common.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn.
Ernest Hemingway
Courtesy is as much a mark of a gentleman as courage.
Theodore Roosevelt
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
Aristotle
You have to perform at a consistently higher level than others. That's the mark of a true professional.
Joe Paterno
Nature gives to every time and season some beauties of its own; and from morning to night, as from the cradle to the grave, it is but a succession of changes so gentle and easy that we can scarcely mark their progress.
Charles Dickens
