Here are some more quotes from Mark Twain:

1) Many a small thing has been made large by the right kind of advertising.

2) Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts.

3) Why is it that we rejoice at a birth and grieve at a funeral? It is because we are not the person involved.

4) ‘Classic.’ A book which people praise but don’t read.

5) There are times when one would like to hang the whole human race, and finish the farce.

6) When I was younger I could remember anything, whether it happened or not.

7) Few of us can stand prosperity. Another man’s, I mean.

8) One of the most striking differences between a cat and a lie is that a cat only has nine lives.

9) I have been complimented many times and they always embarrass me; I always feel that they have not said enough.

10) Substitute ‘damn’ every time you’re inclined to write ‘very’; your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be.
