"Shall we go on conferring our Civilization..." - Quote by Mark Twain

“I'm a very old man.I've had lots of problems.Most of them never happened..!”

“Heroine: girl who is perfectly charming to live with, in a book.”

“Nothing so needs reforming as other people's habits.”

“Every civilization carries the seeds of its own destruction, and the same cycle shows in them all. The Republic is born, flourishes, decays into plutocracy, and is captured by the shoemaker whom the mercenaries and millionaires make into a king. The people invent their oppressors, and the oppressors serve the function for which they are invented.”

“This will never be a civilized country until we spend more money for books than we do for chewing gum.”

“Civilization is the intelligent management of human emotions.”

“I have always noticed that whenever a radical takes to Imperialism, he catches it in a very acute form.”

“If the U.S. monopoly capitalist groups persist in pushing their policies of aggression and war, the day is bound to come when they will be hanged by the people of the whole world. The same fate awaits the accomplices of the United States.”

“It is yet another Civilized Power, with its banner of the Prince of Peace in one hand and its loot-basket and its butcher-knife in the other. Is there no salvation for us but to adopt Civilization and lift ourselves down to its level?.”
