Mark Twain
Never tell a lie-except for practice.
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
I have spent most of my life worrying about things that have never happened.
Mark Twain
The difference between those that succeed and those that fail is, those that succeeded tried.
Mark Twain
Habit is habit, and not to be flung out of the window by any man, but coaxed down-stairs one step at a time.
Mark Twain
