Bethany

“I notice that you use plain, simple language, short words and brief sentences. That is the way to write English―it is the modern way and the best way. Stick to it; don't let fluff and flowers and verbosity creep in. When you catch an adjective, kill it. No, I don't mean utterly, but kill most of them―then the rest will be valuable. They weaken when they are close together. They give strength when they are wide apart. An adjective habit, or a wordy, diffuse, flowery habit, once fastened upon a person, is as hard to get rid of as any other vice.”
― Mark Twain

“Eat a live frog first thing in the morning and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day.”

“If Christ were here there is one thing he would not be—a Christian.”

“The worst loneliness is to not be comfortable with yourself.”
― Mark Twain
