More quotes by Mark Twain
I have been born more times than anybody except Krishna.
Mark Twain

Mark Twain

Mark Twain
If I had more time, I would have written less.
Mark Twain

Mark Twain
Good exercise for the heart: reach out and help your neighbor
Mark Twain

Mark Twain

Mark Twain
It is so unsatisfactory to read a noble passage and have no one you love at hand to share the happiness with you. And it is unsatisfactory to read to one's self anyhow - for the uttered voice so heightens the expression.
Mark Twain
Good wine needs no bush a jug is the thing.
Mark Twain
Heroine: Girl in a book who is saved from drowning by a hero and marries him next week, but if it was to be over again ten years later it is likely she would rather have a life-belt and he would rather have her have it. Hero: Person in a book who does things which he can't and girl marries him for it.
Mark Twain
I don't mind what the opposition say of me so long as they don't tell the truth about me. But when they descend to telling the truth about me I consider that this is taking an unfair advantage.
Mark Twain
Some of us cannot be optimists, but all of us can be bigamists
Mark Twain
