Mark Twain

Mark Twain
There is no sadder sight than a young pessimist.
Mark Twain
As an example to others, and not that I care for moderation myself, it has always been my rule never to smoke when asleep, and never to refrain from smoking when awake.
Mark Twain
How slow and still the time did drag along.
Mark Twain
The man who is ostentatious of his modesty is twin to the statue that wears a fig-leaf.
Mark Twain
One must travel, to learn. Every day, now, old Scriptural phrases that never possessed any significance for me before, take to themselves a meaning.
Mark Twain
There is nothing in the world like persuasive speech to fuddle the mental apparatus.
Mark Twain
I am the entire human race compacted together. I have found that there is no ingredient of the race which I do not possess in either a small way or a large way.
Mark Twain
