"I have a higher and grander standard of principle than George Washington. He could not lie; I can, but I won't" - jasdf, on 05/09/2009, -4/+167Very good list. I especially like: "Never put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow."
This is the reason that as I sit here on the last day of my class I have yet to turn in my final paper. - SirBruce, on 05/09/2009, -3/+144"It ain't those parts of the Bible that I can't understand that bother me; it is the parts that I do understand."

That's some twisted *****. I almost feel bad for LOLing. Almost. - mehagian, on 05/09/2009, -0/+72"It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt."

- brokenex, on 05/09/2009, -4/+62No it doesn't
- stopbrorape, on 05/09/2009, -4/+55Love the pic of him with a cigar in his chair.
- DangerCollie, on 05/09/2009, -1/+50Great quote about ignorance and confidence. How many times I would have not started something if I'd known what I was getting into.

- octopusorgans, on 05/09/2009, -1/+38i live in hartford, connecticut which is home to the mark twain house. one of my all time favorite quotes (by anyone) is written on the wall:
"the lack of money is the root of all evil."

- dopre, on 05/09/2009, -1/+32"In religion and politics people's beliefs and convictions are in almost every case gotten at second-hand, and without examination, from authorities who have not themselves examined the questions at issue but have taken them at second-hand from other non-examiners, whose opinions about them were not worth a brass farthing."
- Autobiography of Mark Twain - TheNyquilKid, on 05/09/2009, -0/+31That reminds me of my favorite quote of all time.
"If you're dumb, surround yourself with smart people. If you're smart, surround yourself with smart people who disagree with you." - Issac Jaffey from Aaron Sorkin's Sports Night. - treeefan, on 05/09/2009, -1/+31that was my favorite also
- tomasmarc, on 05/09/2009, -1/+30I don't know which I like most: his wisdom, his colossal sense of humour or his epic moustache.
But I think it's 'stache. Facial hair like that come only once in a century. - Dakobah, on 05/09/2009, -0/+27Best Digg post I've seen in a long time.
- Brentnauer, on 05/09/2009, -2/+27I'm related to him, but nowhere near as awesome. That's why I'm on Digg.
- Formaldehydex2, on 05/09/2009, -0/+23Awesome stuff from the first great American humorist, check out his books if you haven't already, they're in the public domain so they're free online!
- inactive, on 05/09/2009, -0/+20Why is that twisted? He is just saying that if someone wanted to battle him to the death that he would just kill them beforehand. A pretty logical path.
- immatellyouwhat, on 05/09/2009, -1/+20By this time most of the quotes have been re-quoted in the comments.

- TheAmazingDon, on 05/09/2009, -0/+18jasdf, I like your style. Guess what's in the word document behind Digg right now.
What are the chief features of Wilson’s foreign policy? Are his arguments internally consistent?
Yeah, Progressivism hits the spot in the summertime. - cocaclay, on 05/09/2009, -3/+20Wow, slashspot really felt the need to put their mark on those pictures cause, you know, if i actually wanted to "steal" them I couldnt just take my photoshop #000000 brush over their logo.
But good quotes nonetheless - tas08, on 05/09/2009, -0/+15Hilarious is the fact that TheAmazingDon is my roommate, and I am here not writing a paper for my politics class on whether or not a certain government agency is tyrannical based on Locke and Rousseau.
- RajAtWork, on 05/09/2009, -0/+15it is probably because of longer exposure times of old-time photography ;-)

- thegrantman, on 05/10/2009, -2/+16Buried for bringing up politics in an article about a man who laughed at them.
- Misterberu, on 05/09/2009, -0/+13Mr. Twain, I have deduced from your comments that I would indeed like to go get a beer with you.

- vman81, on 05/09/2009, -3/+14I don't think they are there for "copy protection", but more of "you'll probably forget to give credit where credit is due, so we'll just leave our URL here, because you are too lazy to remove it, but if you REALLY feel the need, go ahead, karma will take care of you"
