More Quotes By Mark Twain

The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who cannot read them.

Never tell the truth to people who are not worthy of it.

I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.

If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything.

A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoe.

Part of the secret of a success in life is to eat what you like and let the food fight it out inside.

The only way to keep your health is to eat what you don’t want, drink what you don’t like, and do what you’d rather not.

Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.

Sanity and happiness are an impossible combination.

Never put off till tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.

Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

Do the thing you fear most and the death of fear is certain.
