Mark Twain
None but an ass pays a compliment and asks a favour at the same time. There are many asses.
Mark Twain
So far as I am able to judge, nothing has been left undone, either by man or nature, to make India the most extraordinary country that the sun visits on his rounds. Nothing seems to have been forgotten, nothing overlooked.
Mark Twain
Oh Death where is thy sting! It has none. But life has.
Mark Twain

Mark Twain
He charged nothing for his preaching and it was worth it too.
Mark Twain

Mark Twain
The proverb says, Born lucky, always lucky, and I am very superstitious. As a small boy I was notoriously lucky. It was usual for one or two of our lads (per annum) to get drowned in the Mississippi or in Bear Creek, but I was pulled out in a 2/3 drowned condition 9 times before I learned to swim, and was considered to be a cat in disguise.
Mark Twain
For we were little Christian children and early learned the value of forbidden fruit.
Mark Twain
The history of our race, and each individual’s experience, are sown thick with evidence that a truth is not hard to kill and that a lie told well is immortal.
Mark Twain
It were not best that we should all think alike.
Mark Twain
Who knows, he may grow up to be President someday, unless they hang him first! Aunt Polly about Tom Sawyer
Mark Twain
Hero: Person in a book who does things which he can't and girl marries him for it.
Mark Twain
Some civilized women would lose half their charm without dress and some would lose all of it.
Mark Twain
