More quotes by Mark Twain

Mark Twain
Data is like garbage. You'd better know what you are going to do with it before you collect it.
Mark Twain
Of course, no man is entirely in his right mind at any time.
Mark Twain
I have always been rather better treated in San Francisco than I actually deserved.
Mark Twain
Learn from the mistakes of others - you won't live long enough to make them all yourself. He's opposed to millionaires, but it would be dangerous to offer him the position.
Mark Twain

Mark Twain
The minute we get reconciled to a person, how willing we are to throw aside little needless punctilios and pronounce his name right.
Mark Twain

Mark Twain
A wise man does not waste so good a commodity as lying for naught.
Mark Twain
Imagination labors best in distant fields.
Mark Twain
It usually takes more than three weeks to prepare a good impromptu speech. Overnight success is a fallacy. It is preceded by a great deal of preparation. Ask any successful person how they came to this point in their lives, and they will have a story to tell.
Mark Twain
Inherited ideas are a curious thing, and interesting to observe and examine.
Mark Twain
I found out that I was a Christian for revenue only and I could not bear the thought of that, it was so ignoble.
Mark Twain
Don't dream your life, but live your dream
