Mark Twain

Have a place for everything and keep the thing somewhere else. This is not advice, it is merely custom.

Mark Twain

He charged nothing for his preaching and it was worth it too.

Mark Twain

He could charm an audience an hour on a stretch without ever getting rid of an idea.

Mark Twain

He does not care for flowers. Calls them rubbish, and cannot tell one from another, and thinks it is superior to feel like that.

Mark Twain

He gossips habitually; he lacks the common wisdom to keep still that deadly enemy of man, his own tongue.

Mark Twain

He had discovered a great law of human action, without knowing it – namely, that in order to make a man or a boy covet a thing, it is only necessary to make the thing difficult to obtain.

Mark Twain

He had only one vanity; he thought he could give advice better than any other person.

Mark Twain

He has been a doctor a year now and has had two patients – no, three, I think – yes, it was three; I attended their funerals.

Mark Twain

He is now rising from affluence to poverty.

Mark Twain

He is useless on top of the ground; he ought to be under it, inspiring the cabbages.
