Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail.
Mark Twain

Mark Twain
Image
I speak French with timidity, and not flowingly--except when excited. When using that language I have often noticed that I have hardly ever been mistaken for a Frenchman, except, perhaps, by horses never, I believe, by people.
Mark Twain
Image
Never knew before what eternity was made for. It is to give some of us a chance to learn German.
Mark Twain

Better a broken promise than none at all.

Education is what remains when what is learned has been taken away.
Mark Twain

Honest poverty is a gem that even a king might be proud to call his own - but I wish to sell out
Mark Twain

If you have nothing to say, say nothing.
