The New York Times, February 20, 1906

TWAIN'S LATEST MAXIM.

To be Good is Noble - To Teach Others, Nobler, and No Trouble.

Having had himself recently photographed, Mark Twain had sent one of the pictures to President Frank Lawrence of the Lotos Club with this note:

"Take note of this Frank Lawrence, old friend of mine. To be good is noble; but to teach others how to be good is nobler - and no trouble. - S. L. Clemens."
