Mark Twain
It is a pity we can't escape from life when we are young.
Mark Twain
Apparently one of the most uncertain things in the world is the funeral of a religion.
Mark Twain

Mark Twain

Mark Twain
Better a broken promise than none at all.
Mark Twain
It is easier to manufacture seven facts out of whole cloth than one emotion.
Mark Twain
My father was a Saint Bernard, my mother was a Collie, but I am a Presbyterian.
Mark Twain
[On Dutch flat poetry]: It is too smooth and blubbery it reads like butter-milk gurgling from a jug.
Mark Twain
We had an abundance of mangoes, papaias and bananas here, but the pride of the islands, the most delicious fruit known to men, cherimoya, was not in season. It has a soft pulp, like a pawpaw, and is eaten with a spoon.
Mark Twain
It is easier for a cannibal to enter the Kingdom of Heaven through the eye of a rich man's needle that it is for any other foreigner to read the terrible German script.
Mark Twain
Italy is the home of art and swindling home of religion and moral rottenness
Mark Twain
I have found out that there ain't no surer way to find out whether you like people or hate them than to travel with them.
Mark Twain
