Quote

Each season brings a world of enjoyment and interest in the watching of its unfolding, its gradual harmonious development, its culminating graces-and just as one begins to tire of it, it passes away and a radical change comes, with new witcheries and new glories in its train.

In all the ages, three-fourths of the support of the great charities has been conscience money.
Mark Twain
Image
Pity is for the living, envy is for the dead. Death, the refuge, the solace, the best and kindliest and most prized friend and benefactor of the erring, the forsaken, the old and weary and broken of heart.
Mark Twain

Mark Twain

The people invent their oppressors, and the oppressors serve the function for which they are invented.
Mark Twain

We all like to see people sea-sick when we are not ourselves.
Mark Twain

If I can capture truth in its simplest form, beauty will follow like a sledgehammer.
Mark Twain
Image
Seasickness: at first you are so sick you are afraid you will die, and then you are so sick you are afraid you won't die.
Mark Twain

Some of us cannot be optimists, but all of us can be bigamists

If you do read the newspaper you are misinformed.

Circumstances make man, not man circumstances.
