Sufficient unto the day is one baby. As long as you are in your right mind don't you ever pray for twins. Twins amount to a permanent riot and there ain't any real difference between triplets and a insurrection. - The Babies speech 1879

More quotes by Mark Twain
For we were little Christian children and early learned the value of forbidden fruit.
Mark Twain
Leaving out the gamblers, the burglars, and the plumbers, perhaps we do put our trust in God after a fashion. But, after all, it is an overstatement. If the cholera or black plague should come to these shores, perhaps the bulk of the nation would pray to be delivered from it, but the rest would put their trust in The Health Board.
Mark Twain
A gentleman is someone who knows how to play the banjo and doesn't.
Mark Twain
We are always too busy for our children we never give them the time or interest they deserve. We lavish gifts upon them but the most precious gift, our personal association, which means so much to them, we give grudgingly.
Mark Twain
Loyalty is a word which has worked vast harm for it has been made to trick men into being loyal to a thousand iniquities, whereas the true loyalty should have been to themselves - in which case there would have ensured a rebellion, and the throwing off of that deceptive yoke.
Mark Twain
The nation is divided, half patriots and half traitors, and no man can tell which from which.
Mark Twain
Circumstances make man, not man circumstances.
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
It is not what a man knows, but what he thinks of in time.
Mark Twain
When your opinions start to coincide with those of the majority, it is time to reconsider your opinions.
Mark Twain
His ignorance covers the world like a blanket, and there's scarcely a hole in it anywhere.
Mark Twain
There is a charm about the forbidden that makes it unspeakably desirable.
Mark Twain
There's a good spot tucked away somewhere in everybody. You'll be a long time finding it, sometimes.
Mark Twain
We are strange beings, we seem to go free, but we go in chains - chains of training, custom, convention, association, environment - in a word, Circumstance, and against these bonds the strongest of us struggle in vain.
Mark Twain
Congress: America's only true criminal class.
Mark Twain
Continuous improvement is better than delayed perfection.
Mark Twain
Love is madness, if thwarted it develops fast.
Mark Twain
They did not know it was impossible so they did it
Mark Twain
An uneasy conscience is a hair in the mouth.
Mark Twain
You cant reach old age by another man's road, my habits protect my life but they would assassinate you
Mark Twain
