More quotes by Mark Twain
The human race consists of the damned and the ought-to-be damned.
Mark Twain
If you're looking for friends when you need them...it's too late.
Mark Twain
Between us, we cover all knowledge he knows all that can be known and I know the rest.
Mark Twain
None of us can be as great as God, but any of us can be as good.
Mark Twain
I said there was but one solitary thing about the past worth remembering, and that was the fact that it is past-can't be restored.
Mark Twain
Circumstances make man, not man circumstances.
Mark Twain
If you invent two or three people and turn them loose in your manuscript, something is bound to happen to them -- you can't help it and then it will take you the rest of the book to get them out of the natural consequences of that occurrence, and so first thing you know, there's your book all finished up and never cost you an idea.
Mark Twain
We have infinite trouble in solving man-made mysteries it is only when we set out to discover the secret of God that our difficulties disappear.
Mark Twain
Climate is what we expect, weather is what we get.
Mark Twain

Mark Twain
Politicians, old buildings, and prostitutes become respectable with age.
Mark Twain
As a rule we develop a borrowed European idea forward, and ... Europe develops a borrowed American idea backwards.
Mark Twain
I felt it was my duty to praise all of God's works with fervent enthusiasm. At the same time I killed flies in my house in a spirit of hatred, exasperation and contempt. My praise to God for all his works was dishonest, the act of killing the fly was honest.
Mark Twain
Whiskey is for drinking water is for fighting over.
Mark Twain
Denial ain't just a river in Egypt.
Mark Twain
I admire him, I frankly confess it and when his time is come I shall buy a piece of the rope for a keepsake.
Mark Twain
The newspaper that obstructs the law on a trivial pretext, for money's sake, is a dangerous enemy to the public weal. That awful power, the public opinion of a nation, is created in America by a horde of ignorant, self-complacent simpletons who failed at ditching and shoemaking and fetched up in journalism on their way to the poorhouse.
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
A classic is something that everybody wants to have read and nobody wants to read.
Mark Twain
When you fish for love, bait with your heart, not your brain.
Mark Twain
