[Pete McMiller]

I was searching to make sure I had remembered the first quote accurately and found a treasure. The quotes by Mark Twain are some of my favorites of all time. The following are all his, but are not all of his - fortunately.


"Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest."

"Facts are stubborn, but statistics are more pliable. "

"Don't tell fish stories where the people know you; but particularly, don't tell them where they know the fish."

"Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were a member of Congress; but I repeat myself. "
