Mark Twain,
one of the greatest American authors and humorists,

had a way with words, also sharp with opinions,
especially on politics and religion.




















 


Quotes by Mark Twain


 Congress and Politics

 "An honest man in politics shines more there than he would elsewhere."
 "An honest man in politics shines more there than he would elsewhere."
 "An honest man in politics shines more there than he would elsewhere."





 Stupid People, Ignorance and Foolishness

 "Never argue with stupid people.
 They will drag you down to their level
 and then beat you with experience."


 "It's easier to fool people
 than to convince them that they have been fooled."



 "The more I learn about people, the more I like my dog."
