"end of men". This is a part of his quote. "end of men means what a person's goal in life is. I think this is very inspirational because many people don't have goals. People need that push to have or do a goal. If they want to get or reach something they need motivation and this quote gives motivation.

If it is possible they will lie and get rich dishonestly, and only if they are forced to, they will get rich honestly. I agree with the quote because, in general, the end goal of all people is to succeed in life. Most people relate success with becoming rich, therefore that becomes their goal as well. And in the world, there are people who do things honestly, but also people who do things dishonestly. If they can, they will cheat their way to success through fraudulent and deceiving actions.]]> 2021-11-05 20:36:09 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/6og27qv64v27aw7f/wish/1870803635 Michelle Garcia https://padlet.com/butlerda2/6og27qv64v27aw7f/wish/1874068834 I agree with Mark Twain's statement. In this world in order to be big and "control people" you need to have money. In order to get the money you either could get it honestly or dishonestly. When people are greedy they only care about themselves and do will do whatever they have to do in order to get what they want. If you don't have money you cant do anything or get anything. Many people will go to the extend and be dishonest and trick people to get money, cause most of the time money leads to becoming big and successful. Some people do also get money while being honest and helping others. ]]> 2021-11-08 04:21:43 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/6og27qv64v27aw7f/wish/1874068834 Summer Lewis https://padlet.com/butlerda2/6og27qv64v27aw7f/wish/1875200619 I agree with Mark Twainś statement. Most things, or to get most things we want or need we have to have money to get it. The end of man or a personś goal can be to obtain money to help one of their family members in need or for their personal uses. I think what he means by Dishonestly and Honestly, first starting with dishonestly is maybe by lying, trying to obtain money in illegal ways and honestly by working hard for the money. I think what he means by the statement that someone will do anything to obtain money, someone's main goal in life.]]> 2021-11-08 14:23:23 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/6og27qv64v27aw7f/wish/1875200619 Dez´Mon Sanders https://padlet.com/butlerda2/6og27qv64v27aw7f/wish/1885498011 I would have to agree with this when he said that it's people's goal to become rich in life because to me it is a really true statement. And also when he said ¨end of men¨which means what a personal goal is in life. And both of them topics are kinda important to me because people really do see life in these type of ways in like their own benefit and trying to make their own personal life.]]> 2021-11-12 01:35:15 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/6og27qv64v27aw7f/wish/1885498011 Isaiah Host Didn't use the quote provided. https://padlet.com/butlerda2/6og27qv64v27aw7f/wish/1887053845 I agree with mark Twain when he say it is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open  it and remove all doubt this relates to because some kids and they need to shut their mouth and listen. another one is if you tell the truth you don't have to remember anything this relates to the truth will set you free so these are good information quotes ]]> 2021-11-12 16:35:57 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/6og27qv64v27aw7f/wish/1887053845 Trenton Thudium https://padlet.com/butlerda2/6og27qv64v27aw7f/wish/1887459904 I agree with Mark Twain because most people today will lie there way through life if they can, even if it's not an option. mist people lie nowadays to get what they want in life and they will go as far as doing illegal things to get it. Very few people these days will actually try and get a good job the right way. Yes it may sound fake but if you look around these days theres kids going around destroying propourty buying drungs skipping class when they should be working on there future.

Or honestly maybe many people think that they can dishonestly get more money and easier but it is better to do everything honestly.

I feel that they should be honest throughout their journey on getting rich but then again what's one lie just don't do it all the time.]]> 2021-11-17 23:04:22 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/6og27qv64v27aw7f/wish/1898126868 rodrigo diaz https://padlet.com/butlerda2/6og27qv64v27aw7f/wish/1909236830

I agree because I feel that a lot of people in the world choose to get money dishonestly instead of actually working hard to achieve their big goal.I also think that when you get money honestly then you can actually say that you worked for what you have and that you earned every bit of it.If you want to get rich and just want to do it the easy way and be dishonest about it then you really can't say you worked hard and earned everything you have.That is what I think about the Mark Twain quote. ]]> 2021-12-01 19:54:07 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/6og27qv64v27aw7f/wish/1923686109 Darius Servick https://padlet.com/butlerda2/6og27qv64v27aw7f/wish/1923704933 I agree with Mark Twain. Many people all they want in life is to be rich no matter how. Dishonesty plays a huge part people don't care who they backstabbed if they know they can get a lot of money off it. End of man means personal goal people will do anything to achieve their goal. End of conclusion people care about money more than there own honesty and trust]]> 2021-12-01 20:05:15 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/6og27qv64v27aw7f/wish/1923704933 Leyla payton https://padlet.com/butlerda2/6og27qv64v27aw7f/wish/1923723908 I agree with mark twain s quote because he was angry. the people stealing and being dishonest. He wants people to work for for the money to buy food and ect. He doesn't like what gilded age has become. i do agree with him because he is right. People should earn their money by working and they can look back and be proud.]]> 2021-12-01 20:16:42 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/6og27qv64v27aw7f/wish/1923723908 cody phillips https://padlet.com/butlerda2/6og27qv64v27aw7f/wish/1923758261 i agree with mark twain statement because getting rich is one way of helping the people you love. mark twain was using sarcasm towards people that stole to make fun of them because they were stealing from people who mostly earned all there stuff. like money stealing money takes someone else's stuff away because that money can buy them something for themselves or others. he was mad at all thieves because they stole. i think if you are going to try and be rich you should be honest on the way there and finish honestly too ]]> 2021-12-01 20:38:28 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/6og27qv64v27aw7f/wish/1923758261 Leslie Ramirez ramirezl309 https://padlet.com/butlerda2/6og27qv64v27aw7f/wish/1923773452 I, in my opinion, do agree with him . Especially with "end of man" that is like the impact of success or not even that but to a person happiness. That "end of man" means a lot of definitions for people. Many of his quotes are very inspirational. goals and especially big gaols, people really got hustle and work to get the goal acomplished. ]]> 2021-12-01 20:48:30 UTC https://padlet.com/butlerda2/6og27qv64v27aw7f/wish/1923773452 Kensy Reyes. https://padlet.com/butlerda2/6og27qv64v27aw7f/wish/1923775229 I agree with Mark Twain, because in my family we say when we want something, we need to work hard for that. I also don't feel that it's okay to steal from others. If everything is handed to us then no one will want to work. Also its important to treat others how we want to be treated.
