Mark Twain
I am only human, although I regret it.
Mark Twain

Mark Twain

Mark Twain
Education is what remains when what is learned has been taken away.
Mark Twain
The equator was wisely put where it is, because if it had been run through Europe all the kings would have tried to grab it.
Mark Twain
Optimist: day dreamer more elegantly spelled.
Mark Twain
God was left out of the Constitution, but was furnished a front seat in this nations currency. (In God we Trust) is a lie, this nations trust has always been with the dollar.
Mark Twain
People are much more willing to lend you books than bookcases.
Mark Twain
The reason why truth is so much stranger than fiction is that there is no requirement for it to be consistent.
Mark Twain
If everyone was satisfied with himself, there would be no heroes.
Mark Twain
There are several kinds of stories, but only one difficult kind-the humorous.
Mark Twain
I admire him, I frankly confess it and when his time is come I shall buy a piece of the rope for a keepsake.
Mark Twain
