Deserving Honor




"It is better to deserve honors and not have them than to have them and not deserve them."


This was quoted by Samuel Langhorne Clemens better known as Mark Twain


Mark Twain was born in November 30, 1835 and passed away April 21, 1910, he was a humanist and was most noted for his novel The adventures of Huckleberry Finn


I consider this to be my favorite quote because I believe it. There are many people who are honored and they do not even deserve it and then you see people that are truly heros and are never recognized for their efforts. Fire Fighters and other first responders are the main people that are not recognized for their courageous efforts.
