Mark Twain
Deep down in me I knowed it was a lie, and He knowed it. You can't pray a lie - I found that out.
Mark Twain
That's the difference between governments and individuals. Governments don't care, individuals do.
Mark Twain

Mark Twain
Now and then we had a hope that if we lived and were good, God would permit us to be pirates.
Mark Twain
The ability to find solutions to life's challenges is what makes us grow as a person.
Mark Twain

Mark Twain
There is no God, no universe, no human race, no earthly life, no heaven, no hell. It is all a dream, a grotesque and foolish dream. Nothing exists but you. And you are but a thought -a vagrant thought, a useless thought, a homeless thought, wandering forlorn among the empty eternities!
Mark Twain
Principles aren't of much account anyway, except at election time. After that you hang them up to let them season.
Mark Twain
I have tried getting up early, and I have tried getting up late-and the latter agrees with me best.
Mark Twain
Constellations have always been troublesome things to name. If you give one of them a fanciful name, it will always refuse to live up to it it will always persist in not resembling the thing it has been named for.
Mark Twain
Circumstances make man, not man circumstances.
Mark Twain
The truth hurts, but silence kills.
Mark Twain
The human race has one really effective weapon, and that is laughter.
Mark Twain
