More quotes by Mark Twain

Mark Twain

Mark Twain
We don't care to eat toadstools that think they are truffles.
Mark Twain
The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up.
Mark Twain
I suppose, just as an honest man in politics shines more than he would elsewhere.
Mark Twain
Dying man couldn't make up his mind which place to go to-both have their advantages, heaven for the climate, hell for the company!
Mark Twain
Most of the things I worried about in life never happened.
Mark Twain
I have stopped smoking now and then, for a few months at a time, but it was not on principle, it was only to show off it was to pulverize those critics who said I was a slave to my habits and couldn't break my bonds.
Mark Twain
