More quotes by Mark Twain
Habit is habit, and not to be flung out of the window by any man, but coaxed down-stairs one step at a time.
Mark Twain
Of all God's creatures, there is only one that cannot be made slave of the leash. That one is the cat. If man could be crossed with the cat it would improve the man, but it would deteriorate the cat.
Mark Twain
It consists mainly of the storm of thoughts that is forever blowing through one's head.
Mark Twain
When congress is in session no American is safe.
Mark Twain
Shut the door not that it lets in the cold but that it lets out the coziness.
Mark Twain
Some civilized women would lose half their charm without dress and some would lose all of it.
Mark Twain
The rule is perfect: in all matters of opinion our adversaries are insane.
Mark Twain
Travel is lethal to prejudice.
Mark Twain
Optimist: Person who travels on nothing from nowhere to happiness.
Mark Twain
The difference between a Miracle and a Fact is exactly the difference between a mermaid and a seal.
Mark Twain
If you don't like the weather in New England now, just wait a few minutes.
Mark Twain
My mind changes often ... People who have no mind can easily be steadfast and firm, but when a man is loaded down to the guards with it, as I am, every heavy sea of foreboding or inclination, maybe of indolence, shifts the cargo.
Mark Twain
That's just the way: a person does a low-down thing, and then he don't want to take no consequences of it. Thinks as long as he can hide it, it ain't no disgrace.
Mark Twain
Make your vacation your vocation.
Mark Twain
We are always more anxious to be distinguished for a talent which we do not possess, than to be praised for the fifteen which we do possess.
Mark Twain
Let your secret sympathies and your compassion be always with the under dog in the fight -- this is magnanimity but bet on the other one -- this is business.
Mark Twain
All the territorial possessions of all the political establishments in the earth--including America, of course-- consist of pilferings from other people's wash. No tribe, howsoever insignificant, and no nation, howsoever mighty occupies a foot of land that was not stolen.
Mark Twain
Wit and Humor - if any difference, it is in duration - lightning and electric light. Same material, apparently but one is vivid, and can do damage - the other fools along and enjoys elaboration.
Mark Twain
Frankenstein took some flesh and bones and blood and made a man out of them the man ran away and fell to raping and robbing and murdering everywhere, and Frankenstein was horrified and in despair, and said, I made him, without asking his consent, and it makes me responsible for every crime he commits. I am the criminal, he is innocent.
Mark Twain
Courage is not the absence of fear, but the mastery of it.
Mark Twain
