More quotes by Mark Twain

Mark Twain
Imagine, if you will, that I am an idiot. Then, imagine that I am also a Congressman. But, alas, I repeat myself.
Mark Twain
I don't believe any of you have ever read Paradise Lost, and you don't want to. That's something that you just want to take on trust. It's a classic ... something that everybody wants to have read and nobody wants to read.
Mark Twain
We called him Barney for short. We couldn't use his real name, there wasn't time.
Mark Twain
We wish to learn all the curious, outlandish ways of all the different countries, so that we can show off and astonish people when we get home. We wish to excite the envy of our untraveled friends with our strange foreign fashions which we can't shake off.
Mark Twain
The secret source of humor is not joy but sorrow.
Mark Twain
God rewards gamblers and fools. The crucial thing, when you win, is knowing which you were.
Mark Twain
