The only certainties in life are death and taxes.
Mark Twain

Mark Twain
If there is one thing that is really cheerful in the world, it is cheerfulness. I have noticed it often. And I have noticed that when a man is right down cheerful, he is seldom unhappy for the time being. Such is the nature of man.
Mark Twain
One compliment can keep me going for a whole month.
Mark Twain

The dream-marks are all present you should have recognized them earlier.
Mark Twain

Mark Twain

Mark Twain

Mark Twain
The law is a system that protects everybody who can afford to hire a good lawyer.
Mark Twain
The proverb says that Providence protects children and idiots. This is really true. I know because I have tested it.
Mark Twain
I have been born more times than anybody except Krishna.
Mark Twain
The moral of it is this: If you are of any account, stay at home and make your way by faithful diligence but if you are 'no account,' go away from home, and then you will have to work, whether you want to or not. Thus you become a blessing to your friends by ceasing to be a nuisance to them-if the people you go among suffer by the operation.
Mark Twain
The best of us would rather be popular than right.
Mark Twain
God puts something good and loveable in every man His hands create.
