I've dealt with many crises in my life, but few will ever happen.
Mark Twain
That is just the way with some people. They get down on a thing when they don’t know nothing about it.
Mark Twain

Mark Twain
The art of prophecy is very difficult, especially with respect to the future.
Mark Twain
We don't care to eat toadstools that think they are truffles.
Mark Twain
The fear of lightning is one of the most distressing infirmities a human being can be afflicted with. It is mostly confined to women, but now and then you find it in a little dog, and sometimes a man.
Mark Twain
I was warned to stop smoking, which I did, for two or three days, but it was too lonesome, and I have resumed - in a modified way - 4 smokes a day instead of 40. This will have a good effect. On the bank balance.
Mark Twain
Really, what we want now, is not laws against crime, but a law against insanity. That is where the true evil lies.
Mark Twain
We are all alike, on the inside.
Mark Twain
