Mark Twain
Each of you, for himself, by himself and on his own responsibility, must speak.
Mark Twain
We love old travelers: we love to hear them prate, drivel and lie we love them for their asinine vanity, their ability to bore, their luxuriant fertility of imagination, their startling, brilliant, overwhelming mendacity.
Mark Twain
The cost of living hasn't effected its popularity.
Mark Twain
I am always on the side of the revolutionists, because there never was a revolution unless there were some oppressive and intolerable conditions against which to revolute.
Mark Twain
There have been innumerable Temporary Seekers after the Truth-have you ever heard of a permanent one?
Mark Twain
