Quote by Mark Twain

Any emotion, if it is sincere, is involuntary.

Any emotion, if it is sincere, is involuntary.

Summary

This quote suggests that genuine emotions are not within our control and arise spontaneously. When an emotion is sincere, it is not a deliberate or conscious action, but rather a natural response to a stimulus or situation. It implies that we cannot force ourselves to feel something; emotions surface on their own, reflecting our true internal state. This viewpoint emphasizes the authenticity of emotions and highlights their involuntary nature, contrasting with the idea that emotions can be feigned or manipulated.

To get a man soundly saved it is not enough to put on him a pair of new breeches, to give him regular work, or even to give him a University education. These things are all outside a man, and if the inside remains unchanged you have wasted your labor. You must in some way or other graft upon the man's nature a new nature, which has in it the element of the Divine.
