Mark Twain
Words are only painted fire, a look is the fire itself. She gave that look, and carried it away to the treasury of heaven, where all things that are divine belong.
Mark Twain
The man who is ostentatious of his modesty is twin to the statue that wears a fig-leaf.
Mark Twain
But we love the Old Travelers. We love to hear them prate and drivel and lie.
Mark Twain
If you want to change the future, you must change what you're doing in the present.
Mark Twain
There is no urge so great as for one man to edit another man's work.
Mark Twain
Go to bed early, get up early-this is wise.
Mark Twain
