To be, or not to be that is the bare bodkin That makes calamity of so long life.
Mark Twain
No man, deep down in the privacy of his heart, has any considerable respect for himself.
Mark Twain
Shall we go on conferring our Civilization upon the peoples that sit in darkness, or shall we give those poor things a rest?
Mark Twain
All people have had ill luck, but Jairus's daughter and Lazarus had the worst.
Mark Twain

Mark Twain
Not until you become a stranger to yourself will you be able to make acquaintance with the Friend.
Mark Twain

Mark Twain
