"All right, then, I'll go to hell...." - Quote by Mark Twain

“It is not in the least likely that any life has ever been lived which was not a failure in the secret judgment of the person who lived it.”

“Some things you can't find out; but you will never know you can't by guessing and supposing: no, you have to be patient and go on experimenting until you find out that you can't find out.”

“Tomorrow night I appear for the first time before a Boston audience - 4000 critics.”

“This England never did, nor never shall,Lie at the proud foot of a conqueror.”

“Hoping they bury me with ammunition, weed, and shells. Just in case.”

“My God, but what do I care about the laws of nature and arithmatic if for some reason these laws and two times two is four are not to my liking?”

“No one punishes the evil-doer under the notion, or for the reason, that he has done wrong -- only the unreasonable fury of a beast acts in that way. But he who desires to inflict rational punishment does not retaliate for a past wrong, for that which is done cannot be undone, but he has regard to the future, and is desirous that the man who is punished, and he who sees him punished, may be deterred from doing wrong again.”

“He who is not angry when there is just cause for anger is immoral. Why? Because anger looks to the good of justice. And if you can live amid injustice without anger, you are immoral as well as unjust.”

“Character alone will have real effect on the masses.”
