Mark Twain
Only he who has seen better days and lives to see better days again knows their full value.
Mark Twain
A little starvation can really do more for the average sick man than can the best medicines and the best doctors.
Mark Twain
Honest poverty is a gem that even a king might be proud to call his own - but I wish to sell out
Mark Twain
I can understand German as well as the maniac that invented it, but I talk it best through an interpreter.

Next you'd see a raft sliding by, away off yonder, and maybe a galoot on it chopping. . . you'd see the ax flash and come down-you don't hear nothing you see the ax go up again, and by the time it's above the man's head then you hear the k'chunk!-it had took all that time to come over the water.
Mark Twain

Mark Twain
All our acts, reasoned and unreasoned, are selfish
Mark Twain

Mark Twain

Mark Twain
The truth hurts, but silence kills.
Mark Twain
All say, ‘how hard it is that we have to die’ -- a strange complaint to come from the mouths of those who have had to live.
Mark Twain
I try never to let my schooling get in the way of my education.
Mark Twain
Stars and shadows ain't good to see by.
Mark Twain
But it was ever thus, all through my life: whenever I have diverged from custom and principle and uttered a truth, the rule has been that the hearer hadn't strength of mind enough to believe it.
Mark Twain

Mark Twain
