More quotes by Mark Twain
It has been said that a Scotchman has not seen the world until he has seen Edinburgh and I think that I may say that an American has not seen the United States until he has seen Mardi Gras in New Orleans.
Mark Twain
Humor is man's greatest blessing.
Mark Twain
A person who won't read has no advantage over one who can't read.
Mark Twain
Habit is habit and not to be flung out of the window by any man, but coaxed downstairs a step at a time. You cannot eliminate habits that no longer serve you. You can only replace them with new habits that support your goals. Moment by moment, you need to live with awareness and structure the habits that you include or exclude in your days.
Mark Twain
Yes, even I am dishonest. Not in many ways, but in some. Forty-one, I think it is.
Mark Twain
I am content to be a bric-a-bracker and a Ceramiker.
Mark Twain
My sister...was an interested and zealous invalid during sixty-five years, tried all the new diseases as fast as they came out, and always enjoyed the newest one more than any that went before my brother had accumulated forty-two brands of Christianity before he was called away.
Mark Twain

Mark Twain
A half-educated physician is not valuable. He thinks he can cure everything.
Mark Twain

Mark Twain
He has been a doctor a year now and has had two patients - no, three, I think - yes, it was three I attended their funerals.
Mark Twain
If I cannot smoke in heaven, then I shall not go.
Mark Twain
To trust the God of the Bible is to trust an irascible, vindictive, fierce and ever fickle and changeful master.
Mark Twain
Good decisions come from experience. Experience comes from making bad decisions.
Mark Twain
Everyone is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody.
Mark Twain
Heroine: Girl in a book who is saved from drowning by a hero and marries him next week, but if it was to be over again ten years later it is likely she would rather have a life-belt and he would rather have her have it. Hero: Person in a book who does things which he can't and girl marries him for it.
Mark Twain
Humor is the good natured side of a truth.
Mark Twain
Concentration of power in a political machine is bad and an Established Church is only a political machine it was invented for that it is nursed, cradled, preserved for that it is an enemy to human liberty, and does no good which it could not better do in a split-up and scattered condition.
Mark Twain
Each man is afraid of his neighbor's disapproval - a thing which, to the general run of the human race, is more dreaded than wolves and death.
Mark Twain
You thunder and lightning too much the reader ceases to get under the bed, by and by.
Mark Twain
