"If you do read the newspaper you..." - Quote by Mark Twain

“Travel is fatal to bigotry.”

“It is a dear and lovely disposition, and a most valuable one, that can brush away indignities and discourtesies and seek and find the pleasanter features of an experience.”

“There's nobody for me to attack in this matter even with soft and gentle ridicule-and I shouldn't ever think of using a grown up weapon in this kind of a nursery. Above all, I couldn't venture to attack the clergymen whom you mention, for I have their habits and live in the same glass house which they are occupying. I am always reading immoral books on the sly, and then selfishly trying to prevent other people from having the same wicked good time.”

“These international bankers and Rockefeller Standard Oil interests control the majority of newspapers and the columns of these papers to club into submission or drive out of public office officials who refuse to do the bidding of the powerful corrupt cliques which compose the invisible government.”

“I do not take a single newspaper, nor read one a month, and I feel myself infinitely the happier for it.”

“Our citizens may be deceived for awhile, and have been deceived; but as long as the presses can be protected, we may trust to them for light.”

“I hate it when people quote me on the internet, claiming I said things that I never actually said.”

“If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed. If you read the newspaper, you're mis-informed.”

“The trouble with the world is not that people know too little; it's that they know so many things that just aren't so.”
