Additional quotes by Mark Twain

The old saw says “Let a sleeping dog lie." Still, when there is much at stake it is better to get a newspaper to do it.

We all do no end of feeling, and we mistake it for thinking. And out of it we get an aggregation which we consider a boon. Its name is public opinion. It is held in reverence. Some think it the voice of God.

We have no permanent habits until we are forty. Then they begin to harden, presently they petrify, then business begins.
