Mark Twain
  • Thunder is good, thunder is impressive but it is lightning that does the work.

  • Good breeding consists in concealing how much we think of ourselves and how little we think of the other person.

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

  • Few things are harder to put up with than the annoyance of a good example.

  • It usually takes me more than three weeks to prepare a good impromptu speech.
