^ These are my favourite quotes so far, together with Zaqarbal`s other quotes from Mark Twain. Here`s another one from MT :-
"People who do not read the newspaper are uninformed, people who do read the newspaper are misinformed."

Two other disconnected quotes I like:-

"A man should live with his superiors as he does with his fire: not too near, lest he burn; nor too far off, lest he freeze." -Diogenes, philosopher (412-323 BCE)

It ought to be plain
how little you gain
by getting excited and vexed.
You'll always be late
for the previous train,
and always in time for the next.
-Piet Hein, poet and scientist (1905-1996)

Another one from Twain: "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics."

"Get drunk!
Stay drunk!
