Mark Twain
To believe yourself brave is to be brave it is the one only essential thing.
Mark Twain
The human being places sexual intercourse above all other joys, but leaves it out of his heaven.
Mark Twain
A tax is a fine for doing well, a fine is a tax for doing wrong.
Mark Twain
I have found out that there ain't no surer way to find out whether you like people or hate them than to travel with them.
Mark Twain

Mark Twain
