Mark Twain
A person with a new idea is a crank until the idea succeeds.
Mark Twain
There are two things nobody should ever have to watch being made, sausage and laws.
Mark Twain
The universal brotherhood of man is our most precious possession.
Mark Twain
If I were going to construct a God I would furnish him with some ways and qualities and characteristics which the Present One lacks...

Mark Twain
Man proposes, but God blocks the game.
Mark Twain
