Mark Twain
I am an old man and have known a great many troubles, but most of them never happened.
Mark Twain

Mark Twain

Mark Twain
Where every man in a state has a vote, brutal laws are impossible.
Mark Twain
Most writers regard the truth as their most valuable possession, and therefore are most economical in its use.
Mark Twain
If true, rarely beautiful. If beautiful, rarely true.
Mark Twain
Life does not consist mainly - or even largely - of facts and happenings.
Mark Twain
And how moving is the eloquence of the untaught when it is the heart that is speaking!
Mark Twain
