What are your favorite quotes from Mark Twain? My personal favorite is in my signature, but a close second is from his 'Babies' speech. It probably has something to do with the fact that I have twins myself...
Sufficient unto the day is one baby. As long as you are in your right mind don't you ever pray for twins. Twins amount to a permanent riot; and there ain't any real difference between triplets and a insurrection.
- The Babies speech 1879
On abstinence...
Total abstinence is so excellent a thing that it cannot be carried to too great an extent. In my passion for it I even carry it so far as to totally abstain from total abstinence itself.
On learning...
I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.
On reading...
The man who will not read a good book has no real advantage over a man who can't read one.
And last, but not least...
If you pick up a dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man.
I could read Mark Twain a thousand times a day and not get tired of him.
