"What is the chief end of man?-to..." - Quote by Mark Twain

“I have always been rather better treated in San Francisco than I actually deserved.”

“That is the way we are made: we don't reason, where we feel; we just feel.”

“A jackass has that kind of strength, and puts it to a useful purpose, and is valuable to the world because he is a jackass; but anobleman is not valuable because he is a jackass. It is a mixture that is always ineffectual, and should never have been attempted in the first place. And yet, once you start a mistake, the trouble is done and you never know what is going to come of it.”

“You'll never see a U-Haul behind a hearse. ... Now, I've been blessed to make hundreds of millions of dollars in my life. I can't take it with me, and neither can you. It's not how much you have but what you do with what you have.”

“If I were to wish for anything, I should not wish for wealth and power, but for the passionate sense of the potential, for the eye which, ever young and ardent, sees the possible. Pleasure disappoints, possibility never. And what wine is so sparkling, what so fragrant, what so intoxicating, as possibility!”

“Poor people have big TV's. Rich people have big libraries.”

“Why waste your money looking up your family tree? Just go into politics and your opponent will do it for you.”

“Once a man has some money, peace begins to sound good to him.”

“An intelligent person should put money in the beginning, but not in heart”
