Mark Twain
Do right and you will be conspicuous.
Mark Twain
The truth is a precious commodity. That's why I use it so sparingly.
Mark Twain
The human race is a race of cowards and I am not only marching in that procession but carrying a banner.
Mark Twain
It may have happened, it may not have happened but it could have happened.
Mark Twain
I admire him, I frankly confess it and when his time is come I shall buy a piece of the rope for a keepsake.
Mark Twain

Mark Twain
