Pedro El Awesomeo needs Bombs's blog: "Encephalon"

Something got me looking at Mark Twain quotes today, and I found more things that I had heard before, but didn't know they came from him. I thought I would share a couple:

"It takes your enemy and your friend, working together, to hurt you: the one to slander you, and the other to get the news to you."

"My mother had a great deal of trouble with me, but I think she enjoyed it."

"Let us so live that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry."

Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.

I didn't attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying that I approved of it.

I have been through some terrible things in my life, some of which actually happened.

I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him.

Never put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.

When I was younger, I could remember anything, whether it had happened or not.

The rule is perfect: in all matters of opinion our adversaries are insane.

All you need is ignorance and confidence and the success is sure.

I don't like to commit myself about heaven and hell - you see, I have friends in both places.

Only kings, presidents, editors, and people with tapeworms have the right to use the editorial "we."

Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it.
