The greatest humourist

Mark Twain (real name Samuel Langhorne Clemens) needs no introduction. He has been hailed as the greatest humourist America has ever produced. Here are some of his lines that are sure to make you laugh.

History

“Nothing spoils a good story like the arrival of an eyewitness.”

On generalisations

“All generalisations are false, including this one.”

On war?

“God created war so that Americans would learn geography."

Success and well...

“Behind every successful man, there is a woman – And behind every unsuccessful man, there are two.”

That's a classic

“Classic’ – a book which people praise and don’t read.”
