More quotes by Mark Twain
Switzerland is simply a large, lumpy, solid rock with a thin skin of grass stretched over it.
Mark Twain
History may not repeat, but it often rhymes.
Mark Twain
I have done more for San Francisco than any of its old residents. Since I left there it has increased in population fully 300,000. I could have done more - I could have gone earlier - it was suggested.
Mark Twain
It is the will of God that we must have critics, and missionaries, and Congressmen, and humorists, and we must bear the burden. Meantime, I seem to have been drifting into criticism myself. But that is nothing. At the worst, criticism is nothing more than a crime, and I am not unused to that.
Mark Twain
Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been.
Mark Twain
So far as I am able to judge, nothing has been left undone, either by man or nature, to make India the most extraordinary country that the sun visits on his rounds. Nothing seems to have been forgotten, nothing overlooked.
Mark Twain
Go and surprise the whole country by doing something right.
Mark Twain

Mark Twain
Never tell the truth to people who are not worthy of it.
Mark Twain
Nothing exists but you. And you are but a thought.
Mark Twain
Hunger is the handmaid of genius
Mark Twain
Behind every successful man, there is a woman - And behind every unsuccessful man, there are two.
Mark Twain
If ever you've been down in the dumps, hear these iconic authors share with you more than their writing wisdom.
Mark Twain
Experience, the only logic sure to convince a diseased imagination and restore it to rugged health.
Mark Twain
These people´s God has shown them by a million acts that he respects none of the Bible´s statues. He breaks every one of them himself, adultery and all.
Mark Twain
What do you think of the human mind? I mean, in case you think there is a human mind.
Mark Twain
It usually takes more than three weeks to prepare a good impromptu speech. Overnight success is a fallacy. It is preceded by a great deal of preparation. Ask any successful person how they came to this point in their lives, and they will have a story to tell.
Mark Twain
Genius has no youth, but starts with the ripeness of age and old experience.
Mark Twain
I am losing enough sleep to supply a worn-out army.
Mark Twain
To be satisfied with what one has that is wealth.
Mark Twain
