Mark Twain
Human beings are the only creatures who blush - or who need to.
Mark Twain
Oh Death where is thy sting! It has none. But life has.
Mark Twain

Mark Twain

Mark Twain
The human being places sexual intercourse above all other joys, but leaves it out of his heaven.
Mark Twain
Marriage -- yes, it is the supreme felicity of life. I concede it. And it is also the supreme tragedy of life. The deeper the love the surer the tragedy. And the more disconsolating when it comes.
Mark Twain
When the world is made to be idiot-proof, the world will become overpopulated with idiots.
Mark Twain
Men are like bank accounts. The more money, the more interest they generate.
Mark Twain
My land, the power of training! Of influence! Of education! It can bring a body up to believe anything.
Mark Twain
Even popularity can be overdone. In Rome, along at first, you are full of regrets that Michelangelo died but by and by, you only regret that you didn't see him do it.
Mark Twain
