Mark Twain
Foreigners cannot enjoy our food, I suppose, any more than we can enjoy theirs. It is not strange for tastes are made, not born. I might glorify my bill of fare until I was tired but after all, the Scotchman would shake his head and say, 'Where's your haggis?' and the Fijan would sigh and say, 'Where's your missionary?'
Mark Twain
If you're looking for friends when you need them...it's too late.
Mark Twain
We all like to see people sea-sick when we are not ourselves.
Mark Twain
We despise all reverences and all objects of reverence which are outside the pale of our list of sacred things. And yet, with strange inconsistency, we are shocked when other people despise and defile the things which are holy to us.
Mark Twain
The secret of getting ahead is getting started
Mark Twain
It is easier to manufacture seven facts out of whole cloth than one emotion.
Mark Twain
The solution to our water problems is more rain.
Mark Twain
