Mark Twain
Apparently there is nothing that cannot happen today.
Mark Twain
It was enough to make a body ashamed of the human race.
Mark Twain
They say that you can't live by bread alone, but I can live on compliments.
Mark Twain
in order to make a man or boy covet a thing, it is only necessary to make the thing difficult to attain.
Mark Twain
Shall we go on conferring our Civilization upon the peoples that sit in darkness, or shall we give those poor things a rest?
Mark Twain
Some things you can't find out but you will never know you can't by guessing and supposing: no, you have to be patient and go on experimenting until you find out that you can't find out.
Mark Twain

Mark Twain
