Mark Twain
We Americans... bear the ark of liberties of the world.
Mark Twain
Braveness is resistance to concern, mastery of panic - not absense of anxiety.
Mark Twain
There is no family in America without a clock, and consequently there is no fair pretext for the usual Sunday medley of dreadful sounds that issues from our steeples.
Mark Twain
While the rest of the species is descended from apes, redheads are descended from cats.
Mark Twain
The common eye sees only the outside of things, and judges by that, but the seeing eye pierces through and reads the heart and the soul, finding there capacities which the outside didn't indicate or promise, and which the other kind of eye couldn't detect.
Mark Twain
I find that the further I go back, the better things were, whether they happened or not.
Mark Twain
Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone, you may still exist, but you have ceased to live.

Mark Twain

Mark Twain

Mark Twain
Prosperity is the surest breeder of insolence I know.
Mark Twain
A big leather-bound volume makes an ideal razorstrap. A thing book is useful to stick under a table with a broken caster to steady it. A large, flat atlas can be used to cover a window with a broken pane. And a thick, old-fashioned heavy book with a clasp is the finest thing in the world to throw at a noisy cat.
Mark Twain
I cannot see how a man of any large degree of humorous perception can ever be religious -- unless he purposely shut the eyes of his mind & keep them shut by force.
Mark Twain
When you fish for love, bait with your heart, not your brain.
Mark Twain
There are two times in a man's life when he should not speculate: when he can't afford it, and when he can.
Mark Twain
The human race consists of the damned and the ought-to-be damned.
Mark Twain
