Mark Twain
Oh Death where is thy sting! It has none. But life has.

Mark Twain
I am an old man and have known a great many troubles, but most of them never happened.
Mark Twain
A crime persevered in a thousand centuries ceases to be a crime, and becomes a virtue. This is the law of custom, and custom supersedes all other forms of law.
Mark Twain
We are always more anxious to be distinguished for a talent which we do not possess, than to be praised for the fifteen which we do possess.
Mark Twain
Adam and Eve had many advantages, but the principal one was that they escaped teething.
Mark Twain
An author values a compliment even when it comes from a source of doubtful competency.
Mark Twain
If you invent two or three people and turn them loose in your manuscript, something is bound to happen to them -- you can't help it and then it will take you the rest of the book to get them out of the natural consequences of that occurrence, and so first thing you know, there's your book all finished up and never cost you an idea.
Mark Twain
Optimist: Person who travels on nothing from nowhere to happiness.
