馬克吐溫的話

Why shouldn't truth be stranger than fiction? Fiction, after all, has to make sense.

Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't.


When your friends begin to flatter you on how young you look, it's a sure sign you're getting old.

When angry, count to four; when very angry, swear.

What would men be without women? Scarce, sir, mighty scarce.

To succeed in life, you need two things: ignorance and confidence.

Thunder is good, thunder is impressive; but it is lightning that does the work.

Ideally a book would have no order to it, and the reader would have to discover his own.

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

Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.

Let us live so that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry.

My books are like water; those of the great geniuses are wine. (Fortunately) everybody drinks water.

The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.

~Mark Twain(Samuel Langhorne Clemens) (1835-1910)
