More quotes by Mark Twain
When congress is in session no American is safe.
Mark Twain
Don't you know that the very thing a man dreads is the thing that always happens?
Mark Twain
It's easy to make friends, but hard to get rid of them.
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
Each man must for himself alone decide what is right and what is wrong, which course is patriotic and which isn't. You cannot shirk this and be a man. To decide against your conviction is to be an unqualified and excusable traitor, both to yourself and to your country, let men label you as they may.
Mark Twain
The solution to our water problems is more rain.
Mark Twain
I was born with Halley's Comet and I expect to die upon its return
Mark Twain
I could never learn to like her, except on a raft at sea with no other provisions in sight.
Mark Twain
God's great cosmic joke on the human race was requiring that men and women live together in marriage
Mark Twain
Life does not consist mainly - or even largely - of facts and happenings.
Mark Twain
Always do what is right. It will gratify half of mankind and astound the other.
Mark Twain
We wish to learn all the curious, outlandish ways of all the different countries, so that we can show off and astonish people when we get home. We wish to excite the envy of our untraveled friends with our strange foreign fashions which we can't shake off.
Mark Twain
It is better to support schools than jails.
Mark Twain
A half-educated physician is not valuable. He thinks he can cure everything.
Mark Twain
I don't mind what the opposition say of me so long as they don't tell the truth about me. But when they descend to telling the truth about me I consider that this is taking an unfair advantage.
Mark Twain
Write without pay until somebody offers to pay.
Mark Twain
A classic is something that everybody wants to have read and nobody wants to read.
Mark Twain
Choosing not to read is like closing an open door to paradise
Mark Twain
There are no wild animals until man makes them so.
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
