More quotes by Mark Twain
Life is short. Forgive quickly, kiss slowly and love truly.
Mark Twain
It is a good thing to write for the amusement of the public, but it is a far higher and nobler thing to write for their instruction, their profit, their actual and tangible benefit.
Mark Twain

Mark Twain
There ain't no way to find out why a snorer can't hear himself snore.
Mark Twain
Every man has a secret ambition: To outsmart horses, fish and women.
Mark Twain
Be good and you'll be lonesome
Mark Twain
We don't cut up when mad men are bred by the old legitimate regular stock religions, but we can't allow wildcat religions to indulge in such disastrous experiments.
Mark Twain
Some people get an education without going to college. The rest get it after they get out.
Mark Twain
Do good when you can, and charge when you think they will stand it.
Mark Twain
Data is like garbage. You'd better know what you are going to do with it before you collect it.
Mark Twain
I begin to see that a man's got to be in his own heaven to be happy.
Mark Twain
