Mark Twain
If you tell the truth you do not need a good memory!
Mark Twain
None of us can have as many virtues as the fountain-pen, or half its cussedness but we can try.
Mark Twain
That optimist of yours is always ready to turn hell's backyard into a play-ground.
Mark Twain
But soft you, the fair Ophelia: Ope not thy ponderous and marble jaws, But get thee to a nunnery - go!
Mark Twain
Rags, wretchedness, poverty and dirt, those signs and symbols that indicate the presence of [Muslim] rule more surely than the crescent-flag itself, abound.
Mark Twain
