More quotes by Mark Twain
Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live. To live a fulfilled life, we need to keep creating the what is next, of our lives. Without dreams and goals there is no living, only merely existing, and that is not why we are here.
Mark Twain
Facts are stubborn, but statistics are more pliable.
Mark Twain

Mark Twain
They did not know it was impossible so they did it
Mark Twain
It is a mistake that there is no bath that will cure people's manners, but drowning would help.
Mark Twain
I have criticized absent people so often, and then discovered, to my humiliation, that I was talking with their relatives, that I have grown superstitious about that sort of thing and dropped it.
Mark Twain
One must travel, to learn.
Mark Twain
What a good thing Adam had. When he said a good thing he knew nobody had said it before.
