Mark Twain Cold Quotations

We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it / and stop there; lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove-lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again / and that is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one anymore.

Weather is a literary specialty, and no untrained hand can turn out a good article on it

The cat, having sat upon a hot stove lid, will not sit upon a hot stove lid again. Nor upon a cold stove lid.

Cold! If the thermometer had been an inch longer we'd all have frozen to death!

Shut the door not that it lets in the cold but that it lets out the coziness.

If a cat sits on a hot stove, that cat won't sit on a hot stove again. That cat won't sit on a cold stove either. That cat just don't like stoves.
