More quotes by Mark Twain
We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it - and stop there.
Mark Twain
The history of our race, and each individual’s experience, are sown thick with evidence that a truth is not hard to kill and that a lie told well is immortal.
Mark Twain
Between believing a thing and thinking you KNOW is only a small step and quickly taken.
Mark Twain
Dying man couldn't make up his mind which place to go to-both have their advantages, heaven for the climate, hell for the company!
Mark Twain
A wise man does not waste so good a commodity as lying for naught.
Mark Twain

Mark Twain
It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog.
Mark Twain

Mark Twain
What a good thing Adam had. When he said a good thing he knew nobody had said it before.
Mark Twain
A big leather-bound volume makes an ideal razorstrap. A thing book is useful to stick under a table with a broken caster to steady it. A large, flat atlas can be used to cover a window with a broken pane. And a thick, old-fashioned heavy book with a clasp is the finest thing in the world to throw at a noisy cat.
Mark Twain
We write frankly and freely, but then we modify before we print.
Mark Twain
Half of the results of a good intentions are evil half the results of an evil intention are good.
Mark Twain
If horses knew their strength we should not ride anymore.
Mark Twain
Choosing not to read is like closing an open door to paradise
Mark Twain
We have the best government that money can buy.
Mark Twain
