Quote by Mark Twain

There is no such thing as the Queen's English. The property has gone into the hands of a joint stock company and we own the bulk of the shares!

There is no such thing as the Queen's English. The property

Summary

This quote suggests that the concept of the "Queen's English" does not exist anymore. It implies that the ownership of language has shifted from the monarch to the general public, likening it to a joint stock company where individuals collectively possess the majority of influence. In other words, language is no longer dictated or owned by a select few; instead, it is now shaped and determined by the shared contributions of the masses.

Charity is in the heart of man, and righteousness in the pat

Charity is in the heart of man, and righteousness in the path of men. Pity the man who has lost his path and does not follow it and who has lost his heart and does not know how to recover it. When people's dogs and chicks are lost they go out and look for them and yet the people who have lost their hearts do not go out and look for them. The principle of self-cultivation consists in nothing but trying to look for the lost heart.
